THE BATTLE BEFORE ATLINTI.
A. Terrible llnittl.to.hand Struggle—Al
most the Whole Rebel . Army Massed.
Against our Right—The Details or its
Frightful Repulse—Mood's Fighting vs.
Johnston's Retreating Polley—John
ston's Removal a Disastrous Mistake.
The St. Louis Paiiy Union, of the 20th, publishes
correspondence from Atlanta, dated on the battle
field, four mile' from Atlanta. It gives us the sub-
joined details of the battle of the 20th, already an
nounced in our telegraphic columns :
On Wednesday afternoon (20th) the clashing now
commander of the enemy massed nearly his whole
army against our right wing, composed of the 14th
and 20th Corps, and Newton's division of the 4th
Corps. This portion of our army, less than one
third of, the whole, mot the most reekless,,:aasslve,
and headlong charge of the war, without yielding
an 111011, save a little on one of the flanks of Geary's
sdtytelon, where a gap In the line occurred, and
where Emory passed through, but
,Was,speedily
checked: ' The attack was made bknearlyithe whole
of. the rebel army, and J.ta'Orfuipleteptalie forms
the most 'Oeileus ohipter in Sherman's present
campaign.
The following are the details or the fight : As
-your readers already know, our whole army, had eV ,
(acted tife Crossing of Peach Tree ()reek, a email
but difilcult stream, covering Atlanta on the north
and partially on the east., After the crossing, which
waft aetuallypothioleteii by the morning of the 24)ih,
our left, under'llie r Pherson, rested on the Augusta
Railroad, south of Decatur, and about five miles
from Atlanta. The 14th Corps w,aB „on the extreme
right, near the mouth of Peach. Tree Creek. On
the left of the 14th was the 20th, and on its loftwas
Newton's division of the 4th Corps. A gap then
occurred In our lines f. r' throe miles, which. was
covered on the south bank of the creek by a curtain
of thickets. On the left of this gap was concen
trated the rest of our army, several divisions orlgi
ginally on the right having been moved there early
on the morning of the 20th, with a view to strength
ening that wing, In front of which the enemy made
numerous feints as If about to precipitate his whole
army against it. The enemy during the morning.
of the 20th had been massed
-on our left. Orders
were issued to Newton, Hooker, and Palmer on the*
right to advance and close the gap of three miles,
before referred to. Newton, on the loft, was ordered
to move first, protecting his left flank by the creek.
Successively, Hooker's and - Palmer's corps were too'
close upon Newton to establish a new lino as far as
possible in advance (lithe treioches, which they had .
constructed a half mile south of Peach Tree creek,:
immediately after crossing, Accordingly, about one
P. Al., Newton deployed rive regiments as sk irmish
err, and pushed forward, handsomely driving clouds
of the enemy's sharpshooters before him, and scat
tering their skirmish reserves. By three .
P. H. he
had advanced' three-quarten3 of a mile, and carried
a prominent ridge in his front, on'which; after send
ing fresh skirmish lines forward, he proceeded to
establish his division. ills troops unsteng their
knapsacks, stacked arms, and fell to erect a rail
barricade with a will. Hooker now advanced from
his trenches. Butterfield's division, now com
manded by Gen. Warren, on the left, Geary in the
centre, and Williams on the right., Palmer pre
pared to close upon Booker whenever the latter
should establish his new line. .
The country over which this advance was progress
ing was partially rolling and open, intersected With.
difficult (weeks and partially covered with dense
undergrowth. In the advance, prisoners were cap
tured at different points along the line, who unani
mously stated that no considerable body of their
troops were nearer than a mile and a half. They
yen Into our hands, beyond doubt, for this purpose.
Not less Min three-fourths of the entire rebel army
were concentrated within muskot-shot of our ['skit ,
ralshers at the same tioae.
At twenty minutes to 4 P. 11L, and with the cele
rity of lightning, the rebel host pounced forth from
where.they were concealed and massed in enormous
columns against Newton, coining on without skir
mishers and with yells whose volume exceeded any
hattle.shout ever heard. Newton's division had but
half completed their barricade, and they had barely
time to fall into line and seize their guns before the
entire rebel column, composed of Walker's and
Bates' divisions of lia.rdee , s corps, was within
range. The line of picketstuartling the centre be
tween the right and loft of our• army barely es
caped capture. Plunging into Peach Treo creek,
and swieaming across, the enemy had struck us at a
vital point, where a victory for him might be deci
sive., Newton bad More ground to guard than he
could cover by even a single line. For the first few.
minutes everything hung trembling In the balance.
Newton's lett flank was exposed, and just covered
his bridges across Peach Tree creek, Had it given
way there would have . ...been-10etLour whole right,
vrh oat
The rebel plan was to 'destroy our forces en the,
right, afterl which •their army would *be strong
enough to confront if not defeat the main bodysif
.our army. On the left tong lines of derides, with
peciesaddles, and othernen.comhatants, Carimpotir,
ing aeMiLthe bridges, the sweat running elf thorn
In riviletf. Guards were placed at the bridge to
collect whatever armed stragglers mightlaPpear,
,
but none mice. In spite of the rurionacharge none,
of our trove were stampeded. The rebel column
poured &Am , op open but rough,' series of fields
toward NeWfon's left, evidtny
,aiming at his
bridges. At the mordent the enemy' Emit appeared,
We had Mit to epleces of artillery in positioli guard
Mg this- vital point; but Captain GOodspeed, NeW
ton's chief Of artillery, with splendid, quickness,
brought tip ten more guns, making in. all twelve.
~They ~opened with canister, firing with frantic
energy; four I. .trierC guns went into action upon
Newton's 'right. At the moment the guns 'opened,
the rebels had swiftly advance engaging New
ton's three reduced brigades at terrible odds. It
was" wonderful how fast the enemy lost - his grip
- when sixteen guns added thole blast to the storm of
"bullets from Newton's infantry. His c;olunans slack
ened theirpaea; and began to waver and lose their
'careful arrangements. Ina few minutes, they had
, to come to a stand, still in partial confusion,' and
- firing heavily but wildly. Color-bearer after color
bearer went down ynder the crasher our canister.
In vain the rebel colonels rode up and down the
,lines, waving their swords and exhorting.their men
not to falter, and in twenty minutes the assault had.
Wally failed. "The enemy gave way, retreating to
the irrorn which they had emerged, and for
the rect o lk.*afternoon they kept up a desultory
fire, which was returned by our artillery, but they
- did not venturato renew the attack.
'Nearly two hundred rebel dead were buried in
Newton's front next morning. His brigade did not
yield an Inch. Gen. Wood's division, on 'Newton's
rl'right, Wee struck at the same time as:Newton's.
Wood had just halted his men, a l / 4 the foot of:the,hill
for a brief rest. After Ims skirmish,ers had niaa way
to the crest, word camelbackto him that theenemy
was charging over open fields Danis front inimmense
' force Without a moment's he sPAtion Wohd ordered
cite men to meet the enemy - With the charge. His
men moved up the hill in splendid and steady order,
and when-they gained the crest, so close upon them
• were the rebels that several of the hostile regiments
:were intermingled, and while huddled together,
numbers of the rebels were captured without diffi
culty. On other portions of the line fighting - at close
quarters continued• for a half hour ; but each sac
cessive line of rebels was pressed back by the un
dauntable valor of Wood's men, at the end of that
time. The rebels fell back to a dense forest in their
rear, and were whipped, so far as Gen. Wood's di
vision was concerned. Gem Wood's trophies are
seven rebel battle-nags and tiareethnndreet prisoners,
including many of the enemy's wounded lett on the
Acid. Among tho prisoners aro iepresentatives of
Sixteen regiments, and he no doubt fought double
that number. Wood Benton his availablo artillery
to prottet Nowton's dank, and his splendid triumph
was achieved with musket alone.
The charge swept along the right, striking
Geary's division afterwards. Geary had advanced
half a mile from the trenches he occupied in the
morning, and had, ust marched his troops to tho top
of a ridge, when the rebel columns were thrown on
him with terrible violence. The 33d new Jersey,
which was thrown out" to fortify a hill in advance of
the main body, lost over half its numbers In the Bret
few minutes of the charge. The • most of Geary's
lines ran through a dense wood, and his right flank
was exposed by an interval of two or three hundred
yards, which General Williams' division was endea
voring to close when the enemy came on. Colonel
Burnes' brigade, on Geary's right, was speedily en
veloped, flank and rear, and fell back, after a stout
fight, to the trenches it, occupied In the morning,
where it was reformed. Portions of Colonel Ire
land's being In the centre, wore also enfiladed and
driven back. By turning one of his batteries from
front to right Gray succeeded In -*forming his shat
tered line where it stood, and not another loch
did it yield, rolling back charge after charge. Prom
four o'clock until long after dark the rebels en
deavored to force their way through the gap they
bad thus . widened, but the pluck of our lads
triumphed. Geary held the Mist, the end as at the
beginning of the assault. That portion of Ills lino
that fell back was reformed, and In about an hour
went back into action.
Tremendous rebel assaults spent their fury, firs
on Williams' division, and next on Geary's righ
This.division had advanced also about half a mile,
when the rebels swept on it. The shock was met
without flinching. The division refused to give an
inch, and though the enemy made several charges,
on it before nightfall, it reunified them all without
moving, though in doing so it auatalnod a heavier
loss than any other division on the right. The fight
ing on this part of the lines was In a dense woods.
Tae attack just grazed tho loft of Palmer's corps,
which had not left Its trendhos,hut was pro.
paring to do so. Colonel A. MeCook's brigade
was partially engaged, behaving nobly and
repulsing the enemy from the beginning to the
end. About nine P. M. the enemy abandoned the
fight in front of Gearyand Williams, carrying oil
many of their dead and wounded, and falling baok
to their heavy works, about a tnilo dittant. In
front of Wood and 'Newton he wee compelled to
leave all the dead and severely wounded. Judging
from the great piles heaped up, the enemy's loss in
killed and wounded alone must exceed 6,000. We
captured about 1,000 prisoners. The loss in Hooker's

Child Desertion.
:",Cho Boston Daily Advertiser contains the following
tereating article :
....Ancient as Is the crime of abandoning children
of .tender age; there is no law against ft on our
statute book. In England even, though foundling
hoipitais have existed there for. upwards of two
hundred Sears, It was not until the revision of the
criminal law in 7861 that Parliament, in .the act to
consolidate and amend the' law relating to offences
against the perion, inserted at last a special "clause
which provided that any one who so exposed or
abandoned a child under the age O. r
two. years.
whereby life or health was endangered, should be
liable to penal servitude for three years, or impri
sonment not exceeding twegyears.
Whether such exposure was previously an offence
at common law, Vil:LB, to say the least, doubtful. In
the leading MEG of The Queen vs. Renshaw (2 Cox's
Orim. Cases, 215), Baron Parke,.in 113.18, ::decided
that, if the exposure of a child of tender years to
the Inclemency of the weather amounted to an as
sault at all, it could only be when the person ex
posed suffers a hurt or injury of souse kind or other
from the exposure ;although if, in consequence of
such exposure, the child died, the person_guilty of
the exposure would he guilty of murder. It was to
remove this uncertainty probably that. Parliament
created this new offence. Very few trials for injury
from exposure are contained in the reports, , and
even those are chiefly instances whore some legal
obligation founded on contract, as In the caso of aer
vents and apprentices, gave a legal claim for Ero
tection. • • . • „, • :1%; •
WI th irr two months, however, two such trials bars
,alien place in this county, and 'ills efficiency - Of:Alm
police in detecting, - and of thoilHeriet attorney and
the assistanetlistrict attorney irEpressing to convic
lion these cages, deagrvesidgik commendation. The
Mit- of there War that - of Mrs. Stoddard. A man
and,velfe, who lived in. Middlesex county, gave away
010% infant to this ;radian, with a small sum of
Money to pay her, as was pretended, for finding
some one to adopt the child. She, however, returned
to town that night, and, on her way from the oars,
left the baby on a doorstep. She was scan and ar
rested, and her arrest led to the joint indictment of
herself and the parents for kidnapping and for as
sault. Technical difficulties caused the discontinu
ance of the prosecution against the parents, but
Mrs. Stoddard was convicted of assault. Her case
is not yet decided, but is now before the Supreme
Judicial Court upon exceptions.
The second of these cases is that of George H.
Smith, and was yesterday reported at length in our
court calendar. Smith had reduced an unfortunate
woman, the deserted wife of another • man. To
escape discovery before birth of the child she left
her home In Malne - and came to this State with her
paramour. Soon after the child was born, Smith
brought_ the mother and child to Boston. The
mother then wished to go back to her friends and
take the child with her, but Smith dissuaded her
from this course, and at last induced her to give him
the child that ho might dispose of it for a time with
some kind person, who would be able to do more for
it than the mother could do. At last she consented,
and, on a wintry night In last March, Smith carried '
It away. Near midnight he was arrested by the pollee
under circumstances which led to the sueptolon,that
be was a thief. Subsequent investigation disclosed
the fact that be had gone from his 'hotel'With an
infant. 'When asked what he had do with. It, h e .
replialthat be had left, it on a doors , as many
others bad been left before, and as he ad' himself
been left , ' This answer led to immediate search for
the child. Smith was taken- throtigh• the streets,
but said ho could cot recognize the house. inquiry
was made at every doot,,through a large section of
the city. Rewards were oillirtd - and advertised. AU
inquiry, however,- was fruitless. 'No trace of the
child was found ; azirwhltetieuld be the fate of an
infant a few weekkold, so .abandoned, upon a bleak
night In Morels, even upon the most charitable sup
position that the wretched father told the truth, Is
hardly doubtful: Still; no positive proof of the in
fant's death' was discovered, and therefore Smith
could not baindiated for murder.
In the absence of any statute covering his offence,
Smith could only be punished for a constructive as
sault accomtnon law. The case of the mother, ap
parently more weak than wicked, excited much
sympathy among Moe° who wore acquainted with
the mete before the trial ; and the counsel for the
Government allowed her to become a witness. The
trial was short, for the feats were clear, and the only
doubt was whetbdt the law was adequate to punish
the crime. The jury on Thursday last found the
-prisoner guilty,. under the ,ruling of the Mut, that
• any one who wilfully exposes an infant of-tender
years in such . a manner that the natural come
quences will be bodily Injury to the child, is guilty.
of an assault. On Saturday the prisoner was brought
up far- sentence. His counsel made stn.elaborate
.argument for a light sentence, but the District At
dorney•merely replied without rising,from his seat,
that he considered this to tie a cam of murder. Ills
Honor, Judge Ilpssell,fwho presided at the trial, im
posed 'a sentence of three years , Imprisonment, the.
heaviest penalty over affixed by the common law to
any such assault; and remarked that he saw'no miti
gating circumstances in the case.
We comment upon these trials because many
persons suppose such abandonment of infants to be
no crime before the law, and also because It occurs
bar Oftener than most people are aware. We aro
informed • that the police records of this city will
show the crime to have been committed here, during
the last year, on an average at least once in every
two weeks. This average Includes only the in•
stances whore living children aro found, not those
of infant murder. The cases where the dock closes
over- thaproof of guilt are not so readily counted.
During the past two years the number of arrests of
women by the police In this city has risen nearly
forty pet cont. above the average of former years.
The seine causes which produce this fearful and
Still increasing ratio probably furnish the expiate,-
tion of the number of Infants so exposed. All that
benevolent exertion and judicial repression clan as
is needed to chock this unnatural crime.

served as colonel. Last year reports of his death

Steamboat Accident in Franie—Upwards
. of Thirty . Lives lost.
' OA the 10th a sad catastrophe occurred at Lyons,
involiing the loasnfdpwards of thirty lives. A river
boat, plying on the Saone, called La Mucha, was
what is nautically knewn as crank, and so narrow In
the beam that any crowding of her deck must have
neeerserily proved disastrous. Tho disaster is thus
described by a local Journal : "On leaving the land
ing place the steamer, In order to avoid the different
sandbanks near the Pont de Nemours, had to Mee a
.Beip en tin e;eOu rs e and take a number of sharp curves.
A length a sudden motion of the rudder caused her to
•gi , e so heavy a lurch that the water Came in at the
scupper holes. An indescribable scene of confusion
then•took place . ; the compact mass of passengers on
the deck were pressed with so much forceagainst the
hand.rail which ran along the side that It suddenly
gave way, and fifty persons were precipitated Into
the river in a mass. The captain of the boat went
overboard with the rest. The scene which fol
lowed was most heartrending. The surface of the -
water was covered with heads, and arms wore seen
making desperate efforts to release themselves.
The persons who fell in were so compactly thronged
together that every one clung to his neighbor in •
the agony of despair, so that those who might
otherwise have escaped by swimming were pre
vented from using any exertion in that way. 'The
captain lost his life In that manner; for he was
seized by two women, one of whom clung round his
neck, and the other round his body, and the three
sank together. Only abount ten persona were able
to save themselves by swimming; four Or five others
were restored to animation aft erheing got on shore,
leaving. the number of drowned to amount to from
35 to 40. After the accident the Mouche, instead
-of stopping to render assistance continued hr,
course. Various reasons are given for that act. A
person on board states that the passengers who still
remained on the steamer were so alarmed that they
clamorously Insisted on being landed. The captain
having been among those who fell overboard, the
man at the helm was the only one left to manage the
steamer: Reties about to order to stop her, when
me of the passengers seized him by the throat and
pulled him from his place, and then, taking the
tiller, steered the vessel to the nearest-landing
place. Another account au tos that the ensineman,
seeing the quantity of water the vessel had shipped,
and which had rushed into the boiler, feared an ex
plosion, and therefore made all haste to get the
other passengers to land, in order to prevent a so.
cond calamity. The owner of the boat.has been ar
rested, and a Judicial investigation into the affair
will immediately take place.'
The Lyons , journals give further details of• the
dreadfulr toes of life in the Saone. Much, blame is.
/thrown on those -whose duty it was to prevent a
greater number of persons embarking than fixed by
the regulations. Some of the . persons In the cabin,
on finding the beat heel so dreadfully, famped . out of
the windows and wore drowned.
Among the passengers were four medical stu
dents, who wore • going on an excursion. Into the
country; two went overboard In the mass, but
the two others saved themselves by laying hold of
the bar which went round the funnel, and of the
funnel itself. The ono who held by the latter had
his hands burnt, but he, nevertheless., did not lot go,
and escaped. Ono lady who was in the cabin,
tancying the vessel about to All, got out of
the window, but, instead of throwing herself into
the river, as others had done, held on, and whoa
the vessel righted, returned to the inside and
was landed in safety. A man who was on board
with his son, a boy eight years of ago, ff udinghim
soll going over with the others whort. the railing
broke, gave a vigorous spring, and thus reached the
water beyond the living mass which had fallen close
to the vessel. By that means ho escaped being laid
hold of by any of the drownhur persons, and swam to
land. lie hastened home • to convey to his wife
the melancholy loss of their child. Fortunately,
however, their grief was dispelled by the arrival
of the child, who had remained on board. One of
the persons drowned was a man who had only two
hours Wore been to the hospital to see his wife,
who,had just been confined. On leaving her he
nnfortuintely went on board the steamer for &little
recreation, and was one of those who fell into the
water. 'Among the bodies taken out of the water
was that of a woman, who hold closely locked in her
arms her daughter, eight years of ago, and whom
'in her death struggle she had clasped so firmly that
the mark'of her 'fingers' were deeply' imprinted on
the child's neck. The journals mention many acts of
Mirage performed by different persons. A young
man named Bovallet,l9 years of age, who happen
ed to be at the baths near the spot when the first
alarm was given, left the place, and; swimming to
:the .vessel, was able to save three persons—two wo
men and a man. Captain Imbert, of .Faris, who
commands tho,Aram merchant 'vessel, happening
to ho on board the Nouche, jumped into ths water
after the accident and saved four persons. The
number of victims already known' amounts to thir
ty-two, but Oars are entertained • that the to
tal may be yet further increased, as some bo
dies may have been peen carried down the river by the
current •

artistic exhibitlbna now open, from that of the Royal
Academy to , the most unpretending of t, 'tele annual
displays, anthlitrwill find almost every Picture of

the most charming of the season, this is n lost stri

tures disposed of, hut all the indifferent one ise have
also met with purchasers, and, with very few eicep
dons; the bad ones have likewise found their area
teem a fact which induced a visitor to say, on a , re
cent occaston,-that the taste for bad pictures'ap
peered to be becoining a positive mania ; the oat
nation of the scaming„paradox being, simply, ti 'tat
the supply of good pictures Is not equal to the 0 'O
- ; *and impatient purchasers, who cannot ge It
good ones, are content to get bad ones rather than '‘
have none at all; for to buy one or two new pictures
once or twice a'year has become almost as necessary
asign of respectability as the ordering of one or two
new coats. This rapidly-increasing testator nuillern'
paintings is but a partof the vast increase in die
national appreciation of art in general.
—The Art correspondent of the . New Nation, in
his account of the Paris exhibition, says
"One of the finest pictures in the exhibition is
the York of a German named Adolph Schuyler. It
represents the horses of the irregular Cassocks
stopped by a snow-storm at the door of a 'wretched
hovel. The poor animals are trying. to resiat the,
hurricane which scourges them with ifs ley thongs
by pressing ono against the other: Nothing can
convey the profound sentiment of meleischoly ex
pressed by this scene, the inclement sky, the ap•
pearance es of wind rushing forward and tearing up
the snow, the harmonious sobriety of tone suited to
so sad a subject, and the superiority of anatomical
design
.displayed in the manner of treating the
horses, which poor creatures seem to resign them
selves to their lot—all these form a most touching
picture, which no expression can Justly , convey.
"Mr. Gurges Saal, whom we believe to be a
Norwegian, has two large pictures on exhibition,
re resenting grand effects of light. One of these is
called Night' in the Lofoden .Islands. Since the
time of paganism up to the present day, the in
habitants of Norway celebrate the festival of the
summer •solstice by passing it on the sea -shore,
wherethey watch the progress of the sun. There is
grandeur and brilliancy in this picture ; the air
seems to . circulate In the wide and deep horizon, It
is really alete, in , fine weather. The other picture
is called Female Bathers by Moonlight, a souvenir
of the environs' of Bonginel. The moon silvers the
waves; and a group of young women in the primi
tive costume of Bye come to confide their charms to
the waves, which rice to clothe them anew. This
moonlight scene is true and poetic.

In a biographical notice of the late Nathaniel
Haiilhorne, Alr. Edward says:
" Before I met him for the first time I was warned
not to be surprised at his extreme shyness. The
caution was 'not unheeded. There was something
almost painful In the nervous timidity of his manner
when a stranger first addressed him. My impression
was that he meant to say, the kindest thing you can
do is not to speak to me at all:; and so, after a few
formal phrases, of which I can recall nothing, our
conversation ended, and, as I thought, our acquaint-
ance also * • + In his own home, the shyness
which often rendered it difficult to get on with him
seemed to fall away. To me, at least, he was the
most courteous and kindly of hosts, and I think, be
fore the end of my visit , ho had overcome the ner
vous doubt'whlch always oppressed him, whether it
was possible for anybody not to got bored in his
company. As I write, l. recall, one by one, all She
incidents of that visit—the strolls.ln the pine wood
above the house, where the leaves fluttered to and
frO, and the.wind sighed fitfully ; the lounges on the
hot summer afternoons on the banks of the torpid
Concord stream, watching the fish dart in and out
underneath the rushes ; the row upon the little lake,
with the visits to the neighbors' houses, in that
genial, kindly community ,• and, above all, the long
talks at night, , when everybody else was asleep, and
when over the.olgars and whisky Hawthorne would
chat on in that low musical voice I !blind such a
charm in listening to."

MR, 1113313 RY PI/ILLirs, RacoLLS.OTrONEI.—
conseqnence of a reverse of fortune which occurred
to his father, Henry Phillips found htnteelf at the
early ago of eight singing at provincial theatres,
"The Bay of Biscay" being the ono song which he
had Sufficiently mastered, and in a short time
achieved stich success as soon to be brought on the
London stage in a favorite boy's part of the day.
These were the days v ben " The Wolf" was the one
song of the three great bassos Smith, Higman, and
'Tinney, each of whom vied with the rest in ferocity
of declamation and grotesqueness of attire, when
' threatering behind the footlights " to rifle; rob,
or plunder . ' A few years later, after eking out an
income by the sale of drawings, for which he al
ways had some capacity, the future baritone' print°
was enga ged at several of the city halls to sing in the
glees then, and still, so essential an accompaniment
of .a city banquet. English opera at this time was
not In a very exalted condition. - Stich specimens
as there were, it is true, had the advantage of such
Interpreters as Mara , Bilftngton, Incledon,
and Miss Paton. But Haire and Vincent' Wallace
bad' not then given English opera what was, at
least,-'an Impulse In the right direction. Charles
. tremble reigned at Covent Garden, and Sir Henry
Bishop's operas, with their abundance of gibes, were
being produced there. The great manager' aunt
',Moistly appreciated Phillis' voice and style to
Verna him 'to take part 11n an opening glee—no
other thail the celebrated "Mynhecr Van Dunck"
—but obstinately refused to give him a fixed en
gagement, or, Indeed, any salary whatever. This
did not suit the already aspiring vocalist, who,
on meeting with a flat refusal, quietly remarked
that if he sang again he was what he had
been induced ...to represent himself, a Dutch
man. The next time the two met, Xemble sought
Phillips' services at forty pounds a week. The next
great step attained by him was his selection by Sir
George Smart to sing in the " Messiah," at Bristol,
an honor which he owed to being able, on trial, to
sing the whole of his music through without the
genre. The public performance proved a great ono.
cm for him, though he had to appear in a suit of
black clothes made by himeelf, the cloth for which.
had been obtained cheap after a fifteen-mile walk to
Proms and back for its purchase. His position as a.
singer was now fairly achieved, and for the next few
years he continued to gain, an the whole, in popu
larity, although meeting occasionally with the most
violently hostile receptions, v bleb he seems to have
the greatest possiblepleasure in recording. Those
who are acquainted with Mr. Phillips' mannerisms
of vocalization, and who can judge from the present
volume ofthe tendency to eccentricity of his chars*.
ter, can easily understand how those occasional out.
breaks were produced.
Dragonetti and. Lindley were both on intimate
terms with Mr. Phillips, and he has much that is
interesting to tell of them. The former he describes
as eccentric and childish in ordinary matters almost
to the verge of Insanity. He possessed the celebrar
ted double bass given him by a Neapolitan monk,
for which he had been repeatedly o ff ered £l,OOO, an
his hands bad become misshapen, and almost with
out final, from constant playing. His great mud--
festation of eccentricity was - his constant custom. of
travelling accompanied by a largecolleotiotror dolts
of all sizes, some of Which he would always dance at
the window of a Colchishen passing thrqugli a vii.
lage. He and Lindley ; were - great triondSkand boik'

Mr. Phillip's American trip forms the subject of
the greater pert of the second 'volume, and con
tains some rather amusing specimens of Yankee
cuteness and peenliar type of humor. He found

;Abell - Martin Chuzziewit did his, and. on his return
he found It impossible to recover the position he had
once held. His farewell coneeit.was held only two
years ago, and on finally retiring from the proles,
sion he devoted himself to the conipilation of these
"Recollections." While deploring the occasional
flippancy and absence of taste to which we have al
ready alluded, we must thank him for giving to out
alders this candid description of the somewhat Bo
hemian existence of a popular singer.—Spectator. •
r- Gouned"s new opera, " Mireille," was first pre
. dueed at . the Theatre Lyrique, in Paris. It Was
• Ce , ao e presen month. The
music of the opera is said by the competent mitts
of the Londan Times to be as good an that of Faust,
and, perhaps, In some respects better—but the li
bretto is much inferior, Here - is his ieport of the
plot:
"The incidents are few and siai . ple. The greens is
laid in the south of France_ The hefolise, : the daugh
ter of a wealthy farmer, is a. village beauty the idol
of the neighboring youths; who strive in vain ror tier
love—all but one, a poor basket.maker, Vincenzo, to
whom she has given her heart. Bother father favors
the suit of a young herdsman called Mies a truism
lent savage, whose addresses aro received' by the
girl with aversion and contempt. Her father, solici
ted to consent to her union with the poor young bas
ket-maker, sternly refuses, whereupon Mirella de
clares that she loves Vincenzo, and vows that she
will wed no one else. The father—a domestic ty
rant—casts ...slaughter.off, and is with difficulty
restrained from.personal violence ; while the savage
Urlas, who witnesses the scene, vows to be revenged
on his favored rival. This yow he speedily keeps ;
for waylaying Vincenzo in a solitary spot, he at
tacks him, strikes him, down, and leaven him for
dead. The „unhappy Mirella, meanwhile, remains
in her father's house, sunk in despondency. In
this. condition . she . hears of the outrage perpe
trated upon her lover. In her despair she de
termines on a pilgrimage to a distant shrine,. that
she may pray for his recovery. She begins her weary
Journey ; but fatigue under a burning sun disor
ders her reason.. In her madness she beholds afar
off a beautiful city, which she believes to be. Jeru
salem, a vision which, though existing only In her
brain, is represented to the eyes of the audience.
At length she arrives at the end of her pilgrimage,
A procession of pilgrims is. entering the ehuroh,
and she is about to enter with them, when her
father (now, repentant of his „cruelty), and her
' lover, who ,have followed her, snake theirappear
anee. Suddenly the back of the church disappears,
and the saints; says theilbretto, surrounded by a
bright glory,are seen blessing Vincenzo and Ali
rella,' who expires In a rapture of religious joy.
Such is the original termination of the drama. But
we must add Abet this mystical der:ow:men( was
avoided. at her Itlajesty's Theatre. As Mirella,
seems about to recognize her lover, the curtain falls,
endure aro allowed to suppose that she does not die,
but is reunited to her lover; the. most rational con
clusion, after all, for the fatigues and hardships of
her pilgrimage have not been sufficient to render
her death a necessary catastrophe."
Now this little plot Is spun out into live long acts.
The most pleasing part of the music is contained hr. ,
the first and second acts. Tho overture Is describe&
as "a medley of ear.catoking tunes—a string of pa. .
pular melodies of the south of : Franca." There is a .
chorus of country-girls pursuing their rustic labor
of mulberry-gathering, and a chorus of country-peo
ple drinking, dancing, and singing in the market-.
place . . of Arles, full of gaiety and local character. •
Of other musical features.there is a quaint contralto
melody in the character of a fortune-teller • soma .
heavy unmelodious strains for ." the savage tirlas ;"
and Et grand concerted piece, sung. when Blirells
