THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Parts journals of yesterday.
Their leading e ilutnes are very barren of interest.

"In 1845, when Frarce and England decided to act

after at present in France. A decree of the

THE NEW PIHMIARMONIC SOCIETY
The first coreert given by this new society tuck place
with immense éclat last cv..-nitig, at Exeter Hall, in the
presence of a large and brilliant audience. Judgirg
from the opening night, we should pronounce tho esta-
blishment of this new society as a step decidedly bene-
ficial to the true interest of art and artists. Many
of the names announced are "towers of strength,"
and the programme contains a rich and varied
array of string selections and attractive novel-
ties With tlec,or 8.,r li z, as the chef d' orchestre,
Sivori, the first violin, and Piatti and Bottesini conspi-
cuous among the instrumentalists—with several works
of home composition (such as those announced of a new
overture and concerto by Henry Wylds, an " operatic
masque," by Edward Loder, and a cantata by G. A.
%warren, fo tended on Burg. r's ballad of "Leonora")
we freely anticipate the solidly Eucecssful resuits of the
objects of the society, which are stated in its prospectus
to be both the extensi to of a knowledge of the produc-
tines of the greatest masters, by a more perfect per-
formance of their works than has hitherto
been attained, and likewise the affording to
modern aNd rative composers a favourable opportu-
nity for establishing the worth .of their claims ~upon
attention and esteem of a discerning public,.
Among the promised features of attraction are Beet-
hoy....'s Choral Sipmptiony 111.,ndelaskan'8 " Wulpurgis
Night," sr lectiens from La Vestale or Spontier, and the
pieces we have- already rot-ritiou, d. The orchestra com-
prises upwards ot one hundred pfTE-riners, and is pecu-
liarly strong; the viola'. viohneelli, bassi, and harps each
must-r tw,lvi• instruments. Last evening's programme
was as follows:---

PART I.

with los and chorus. By Hector Berlioz.
No. 1. Cernhats—a Tumult—lnstrumental Introduction.
Prologue—in Choral Recitative. Semi-Chorus—Strophy,
Contralto Solo. Vocal Seherzetto—Tenor Solo, with Semi-
Chorus Recitative.
No. 2 (Instrumental). Romeo alone. Distant sound of

Cherus of Capulet youths quitting the feast.
No. 4. Queen blab, or the Fairy of Dreams—Scherzo In-
strumentale.
Overture, Guillaume Tell (Rossini).
In the first part, the opening symphony, was admir-
ably given, especially in the close; th
the savage chorus of
Soy thians, and the jubilant hymns; and exquisite
performance of Silas, Sivori, and Piatti,
were
severally hailed with the most cordial plaudits in the
triple concerto, were triumphantly concluded by Weber'a
beautiful overture given with a mastery of precision,
spirit, and execution impossible to be surpassed.
The second part consisted mainly of a portion of Ber-
lioz's very poetic and fanciful .Romeo and Juliet
The - sym-
phony, most carefully and brilliantly given. chit
ratter of the music is wild, passionate, and perfectly
original in its piquancy of treatment, particularly us
regards the wooden baud. The ideas are worked
out in a thoroughly dramatic manner, and
there runs throughout the whole an unfailing
vein of imagination, sometimes bright and
sparkling, end again plaintively and passio been
nately
sombre. Not a phrase or thought has
borrowed, and the effect of the whole treatment, so
bright in colour and so dramatically varied, is perfectly
novel. The opening movement is a clever representa
tion of a tumult, interrupted by stately brass music,
presenting the interference of the Prince of Verona, A
semi chorus of hermunised recitative, very graceful and
characteristic, is succeeded by a bog contralto solo,
excellently given by Miss Dotbie the melody original
and quaintle plaintive, and is fltew charmino
ecabrokelling
n
by a sweet choral bit, " The lute's soft tones r
us fur a momedt to the festivity. The vocal scherzctto,
" Queen blab," wbich follows, is quite new in plan and
treatment. The tenor, Mr. Luckey, in the light, way-
ward, and fantastic etraius of the music is backed by
sparklingly clever end characteristic instrumental ac-
companimentg; the flutes and oboes taking a principal
part, and by " bits" of very ingenious choral music re-
echoing the phrases of the subj-ct—the whole dove-
tailed and worked up with pertect ittgenuity. The
morceau narrowly escaped an encore. The second
portion if the symphony is instruevntal, with
the exception of a gay chorus of the el, parting re-
vellers, which breaks the plaintive and passionate strains
which depict the moonlit garden and the interview of
the lovers. The movement is lone, and scored with sus-
tained power. The concluding scherzo is a very fanciful
and ingeniously treated bit of fory music—the subject,
" Queen Nab, or the Fairy of Dreamy"—end thescore
having all het playful yet fantastic character which be-
long% to the subject. It was given with the utmost deli-
cacy, and all it odd gamboling effects—as if the com-
poser were revelling in the production of the wildest,
yet the prettiest musical vagaries—were brought out
with immense effect. The harp passages, with their
bright tinklings, backed by the wayward warbling& of
the flute, and the piquant little rushes from the stringed
instruments, were all' as fairylike) as possible, and wer
highly and fully appreciated. Had it not been for the
lateness of the hour, the movement would have been
encored. As it was, there was but one feeling
of un-
animous admiration. The overture to Guillaumet
Tell,
given with startling vigour, eoncluded with ecla this
excellent concert.
Tee promoter of the New Philarmonic has been Mr.
T. F. Elea!e, to whose 'courageous spsculation and cn-
thusiesm a deep debt of gratitude is due from the lovers
of music in this country.

MR. HENLEY'S NEW BILL ABOUT SEAMEN.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY NEWS.
ni
Sir,—The announcement of Mr. Henley, last ght,
renders it necessary to call public attention at once to
the :cts of the Government, before further mischief is
done. Mr. Henley has brought in a Bill to anthorise
negotiations with foreign states for the giving up of de-
serters. This places a sailor who deserts on a level with
a murderer or felon.
The United States will never sanction such an Act,
for it would infringe on the right of search, and ulti-
maq ly lead to war. No nation gives up deserters at
present—liberal England is to set an exatnple.
One of the causes which led to the last war with the
United States was :the searching of ships of the United
States navy for deserters from the King's service. Three
men from the Melampus and one from the Halifax de-
serted and joined the United States frigate Chesapeake;
Admiral Berkeley ordered Captain Humphreys, of the
Leopard, whenever the Chesapeake should put to sea
to proceed in the offing, demand the men, and, if refused,
to " proceed and search for the same." Commodore
Barrow, of the Chesapeake, refused to give up these
men to the British frigate; the consequence was, that
Captain Humphreys proceeded to hostilities. After a
akort engagement the ChesaseAte struck her colours, the
d
, laid a deep and lasting
take deserters were given up, Captain Humphreys refused to
ras P9ssession of the United States frigates, and thus
caused
complaint, which rankled in
the breast of the Americans, a deep sensation in
that country,
