BALLOONING.—M. Nadar announces that he will
shortly make another accent in his ballron, the Geant,
somewhere on the Mediterranean, and t',l4 he will attempt
to cross that sea.

His first opera, " Jephihah's Vow,,' was represented at
Munich in 1812. The music in this work was serious and
severe, but cold and without movement, more like that of
an oratorio than of a drama, and it was more esteemed than
applauded. In the following year M. Meyerbeer met with
more success at Vienna, but as a pianist; and, passing at
will from the school of Clementi to that of Hummel, he was
alternately applauded for his new and brilliant traits and
for the grace and purity of his style. But he preferred the
more solid glory of the composer to his ephemeral triumphs
as a virtuoso, and he wrote a comic opera, " Abitnelech, or
the Two Caliphs," produced at Vienna in 1814. Unfor-
tunately Vogler's pupil still preserved the gravity and the
coldness of religious music, and the clever composition,
though giving proof of much genius, met with no success
at the hands of the public.
At this time Salieri, author of the " Danaids " and of
" Tarare," advised Meyerbeer to seek in Italy another
method and other models; and he accordingly repaired
thither in 1815, passing through Paris on his way. Rossini,
with his music still thoroughly Italian, then reigned
supreme, and, above all, " Tancredi " had raised the public
enthusiasm to the highest pitch. M. Meyerbeer remained
for more than two years without finding a libretto or a
theatre; but, thanks to his fortune, he waited patiently and
studied at leisure that music so lively, so light, and so
different from the German school. At last, at Padua,
on July 20, 1817, he caused to be represented his first
Italian opera, " Romilda a Constanza." Pisaroni sang the
principal part ; a graceful melody was united to a large
and brilliant instrumentation, and the success was complete.
At Turin he produced in 1819" Semiramide Riconosciuta,"
and at the commencement of 1820 the city of Venice, where
his first Italian works had been rejected, heard at the same
Limo his "Emma di Resburgo," and" Edouard° e Cristina,"
by Rossini, and ba►h masters received the same ovations.

M. Meyerbeer then returned to Germany to receive the
applause of his countrymen, when at Berlin he was treated
as a deserter from the national standard of music, and at
Vienna as a plagiarist of Rossini, but a better reception in
some portions of the kingdom consoled him in some degree
for the severities of the two capitals. After having written
ta**-Gato of linaleuburg" fur the berlin opera, but which
work was not represented, he hastened to return to Italy,
where "Margaret of Anjou" was produced at the Scala,
Milan, in 1820. Afterwards appeared the " Esule di Gre-
nate," the success of which was ensured by Lablache and
Pisaroni, notwithstanding many cabals, and also " Alman-
son," written for Rome, but which was not produced on ac-
count of the illness of hide. Bassi. At last in 1825 the chef
d'oeuvre of his works in the Italian style, "It Crociato in
E:;itto," was represented at Venice. The success was im-
mense. It was applauded at all the theatres in Italy,
and in a short time the opera was heard throughout Europe.
In Germany all old discords were appeased, and even in
France the disdain of the exclusive admirers of Rossini
was conquered.

A period of repose in the life of Meyerbeer took place at
this time, during which his genius prepared itself for a
new transformation. He was married in 1827, but the two
children born to him died soon after their birth. In the
midst of his retirement and his sadness he returned to the
study of religious music, and wrote a stabat, a misere, a to
deum, twelve psalms, and his eight Klopstock canticles.
But his inspiration at last found a career in a poem which
offered for a subject, under all the phantasms of a marvel-
lous legend, the great, the eternal struggle between good and
evil; and on Nov. 21, 1831, "Robert le Diable" marked a
new epoch in dramatic art. This profound and psychologi-
cal music, while still giving to sentiment and passion their
proper place, united in an exuberant orchestration the grace-
ful melodies and powerful choruses to all the mysterious
and strange effects of German supernaturalism ; and, though
it rendered criticio2 difficult, the public were delighted, and
the work immediately' obtained an incredible popularity.
The Opera at Paris, where "Robert" was interpreted by
Nourrit, M. Levasseur, Mesdames Derus, Daraoreau, and
Falcon, owes its best days to the work; and its representa•
tions there are to be counted by hundreds. Dr. Veron, who
hesitated to receive the work, owes part of his fortune to it.
The work was immediately translated into many languages,
and it was produced not only in France and throughout
Europe, but in most countries of the world.

After this effort of creation M. Meyerbeer again sought
repose, and during five years he only produced some dra-
matic melodies, the " Vow during the Storm," the " Monk,"
&c.; but on Feb. 29, 1836, while public expectation was
raised to the utmost, appeared the " Huguenots," announced
under the title of " St. Barthelemy," and it proved a worthy
pendant to " Robert." The success of this work, still in-
terpreted by Nourrit and Madlle. Falcon, was great nk?
doubt, but it was less prompt, less electrical, so to say.
The " Proplatlte," which only appeared 13 years after
(1849), and which also counts its representations by hun-
dreds, excited more surprise than enthusiasm, and did not
obtain to the same degree of enthusiasm. The equilibrium
between inspiration and study, maintained in " Robert,"
already compromised in the " Huguenots," appear broken;
passion and sentiment give place to science ; melody, except
in the ballads, is more rare, and disappears quicker in the
harmony. The pupil of Vogler reappeared. Religious
majesty, which finds a place in all the works of Meyerbeer,
still encroaches even on the dramatic situations and deadens
the movement; the voices are lost in the orchestra, and the
instrumentation governs everything.
After this period the author sought to confine himself to
the comic opera, and in 18b4 " L'Etoile du Nord" obtained a
success in France and abroad which succeeding years have
not diminished. Another comic opera, often announced,
and not produced for a long time, but produced at last with
great care and costliness in the decorations, the " Pardon
de Plihrmel," was represented in Paris, on April 4, 1859,
and since then at all the principal theatres in Europe. The
success of this work was decidedly great, but its merit was
more contested.

Between the " Huguenots" and the " Prophete," M.
Meyerbeer, in 1844, produced the " Camp'of Silesia" at
Berlin. This was a patriotic opera which owed its success
to national feeling, and to the great talents of Mdlle. Jenny
Lind. His celebrated " Marche aux Flambeaux," written
for the marriage of the Crown Prince of Prussia with the
Princess Royal of England, and his gorgeous overture
played at the opening of the last Great Exhibition, are
amongst his latest works ; but the Parisian public have been
long looking for his new opera " L'Africaine," which,
though ready for some time, has not been produced because
the composer could not find a prima donna to whom he
could confide the music of the principal part,
M. Meyerbeer enjoyed the highest consideration, and was
decorated with the insignia of many orders. He was Com-
mander of the Legion of Honour, foreign member of the
Institute of France, foreign associate of the AcadLnie des
Beaux-Arts since 1834, and member of various other dis-
tinguished societies,

Their Majesties the Emperor Maximilian I. of
Mexico and the Empress Charlotte arrived at Gib-
raltar in the Austrian screw frigate Novara on the
24th. The French frigate Themis was in attend-
ance on their Majesties. As the Austrian and
French frigates steamed up the bay royal salutes
were fired from the garrison and from her Majesty's
steamer Racoon, which were returned by the
Themis. Shortly after the Novara came to anchor
the Emperor was waited upon by the Austrian con-
sul. The governor sent off to know at what hour
it would be convenient to their Majesties that he
should wait upon them, and by their appointment
his excellency paid his respects to them on board
the Novara on the 25th. The Emperor and Empress
landed privately, declining the usual official honours
at 12 o'clock, and took luncheon with his ex-
cellency the governor. After passing a few hours on
shore their Majesties returned on board the Novara.
The governor and a few other gentlemen were
honoured with invitations to dine with their Ma-
jesties the same evening.

A Shaksperean Discovery.

Mr. J. 0. Ha writes in the Atlienozon under date
Stratford-on-Avon, April 26, 1861—They who are listening
anxiously for evary whisper which may tell us something
to increase the collection of facts that are by slow degrees
substantiating a chronology of the main incidents in the
material life of Shakspere, will gladly welcome the an-
nouncement of a curious addition to them.

The new fact to be now published is imbedded in a large
folio manuscript volume which has been kindly confided to
the care of the Rev. J. Granville, the respected vicar of
Stratford-on-Avon, by the authorities of the Lord Cham-
berlain's office, and is now being publicly exhibited for a
time, by their permission, at the birth-place in Henley-
street. It contains a minute account of the expenses in-
curred for the materials of the dresses for those who took
part in the procession at the visit of James the First to the
City of London in the year 1601—and amongst the entries
is one to the effect that our great dramatist was furnished
with four and a half yards of " skarlet red cloth" on the
occasion. His name occurs at the top of the list of the
same company to whom the patent was granted in 1603.
The following is the title of the manuscript—.
" The Accompte of Sir George Howme Knight, Master
of the Greate Warderobe to the high & mightte Prince, our
gracious soveraigne Lord James by the Grace of God Kinge
of England, Scotland, Fraunce & Ireland, Defendour of the
Faith, &c., as well of all his receipts as of his empcions
& deliveries of all manner of furniture & provisions
whatsoever by hym bought & _provided for his
Majesties use & service against his royall Entrye & pro-
ceedings throughe his honorable Citie of London, togeather

noble Prince Henrie his sonne, solemnized xv.th daie of
Marche, 1603, & in the first yeare of his Raigne of Eng-
land, Fraunce and Ireland, & of Scotland the seaven &
thirtith."

The date 1603 is 1603-4. The King's Players are entered
in the list of the household, occurring after the Falconers,
and appear thus in the MS :

Whether the position of the name of Shakspere in this
document proves anything is a subject for further delibera-
tion ; but it is clearly demonstrated, at all events, that the
great dramatist had not retired from the King's Company
on March 15th, 1604. I have no book on the subject to re-
fer to at this moment, and leave it to others to tell us the
nature of the brilliant costume in which Shakspere appeared
in the procession, and whether there is not some contempo-
rary engraving of the pageant in which the actors are in-
troduced. If there be, its interest would be highly enhanced
by the discovery, a note of which is thus hastily transmitted
to you.

M. LINDENSCIIMITT'S CARTOON OF "SHAKSPERE
AND THE LITERATURE OF ENGLAND" has been placed for
exhibition in the Crystal Palace,
AMERICAN TROOPS IN BRITISH TERRITORY.—The
117-or' -Wester publishes a letter of Major Hatch, corn-
mending United States troops in Minnesota, addressed to
Governor Douglas, and asking permission to pursue a party
of Sioux " murderers," who had fled before the military
forces of the States, and were supposed to be near Poplar
Point, Assiniboine river. The major represented that he did
not feel justified in moving in pursuit towards the point
without the Governor's consent, because ho might by chance
place his men in such a position that they might appear as
trespassers on British soil, the locality of the 49th parallelbhs
never having been officially defined ; but influenced
desire to prevent a renewal this spr;ng of the
tbarbarous
scenes of 1862 and 1863, and the murder of innhoceean women
and children upon the frontier of his country, aced per..
mission to pursue and capture the savages with an armed
force wherever they might be found. Governor Douglas
in his reply, dated Fort Garry, March 7, stated that, believ-
ing it of the utmost importance for the safety and well.
being of the civilised inhabitants of this part of the world
generally that a powerful tribe of Indians, inhabiting the
borders of an undefined and unprotected frontier of large
extent, should be disabused of the belief that they can with
impunity commit their depredations and murders in one
territory and take refuge in the other in safety for the time
being, ready to renew their operations when it may snit
their inclination to do so, he had no hesitation in comply-
ing with Major Hatch's request, stipulating only that in the
event of active operations taking place within the settle-
ments he would communicate with the authorities and take
such measures as would prevent bloodshed or violence in the
houses or enclosures of the settlers, should any of the Sioux
Indians take refuge there. The Council of Assiniboine, a few
days afterwards met and confirmed and approved the grant
of permission.

Before the mayoralty of Boydell took place, his
nephew Josiah had become a partner, and it was at
the house of this latter gentleman, at Westend,
Hampstead, that the happy deed was suggested
that not unworthily associates the humble name of
Boydell with the illustrious Shakspere. While
entertaining at dinner his uncle and a party, mostly
artists, it happened to be asserted that an opinion
prevailed abroad that England possessed no talent
for historical painting. John Boydell maintained
that, so far was this from the fact, that suitable sub-
jects and adequate remuneration were alone want.
ing. With this debate was interwoven a notion,
long entertained by Nicol, the King's printer, that
the incidents dramatically rendered by Shakspere
were especially worthy of illustration by the painter.
Out of this table-talk sprang the design of that
noble series of prints which, for size, number, and
excellence, stands on a pinnacle that has no
parallel. Separate engravings have cost propor-
tionably more, but some of these examples reached
fifteen hundred guineas ; and the entire work caused
an expenditure of more than a hundred thousand
pounds.

These stupendous volumes were accomplished in
March, 1805, and dedicated to the King. His
Majesty's portrait, by Benjamin Smith, after Sir
William Beechey, forms the frontispiece ; and the
title-page bears a fine chalk etching by W. Lowry,
from a classically designed bas-relief by the Hon.
Mrs. Darner. The list of engravers shows that
exotic talent was extensively introduced ; and the
name of Caroline Watson asserts the skill with
which female hands could guide the burin.
This book, by calling into action the powers of
the best artists for a period of eighteen
years, tended to place the reputation of English
engravers upon a footing of permanence and
elevation it could not, in all probability, have
otherwise attained.

But a school of engraving, however essential to
commercial objects, and intrinsically valuable for
its power of diseeniinating thought and taste, can-
rot exist alone. The initial vigour, the sustaining
power, must bo derived from the parent art of
painting. Fortunately for Boydell's admirable
purpose, such names as West, Romney, Fuseli, and
Smirke are but as points in the circle of contem-
porary genius; and amateurs might be named
whose success has rarely:since been equalled.
Lie pictures obtained from such eminent BOUTUA
had, in their collective form, the highest possible
interest; and Boydell, having obtained posses-
sion of Mr. Dodsley's house in Pall Mall, built a
suitable gallery for their exhibition. This was in
1789. The principal external feature of this edifice
was the relieve of Banks, representing Shakespeare
between the Muses of Painting, and the Drama
costumed with a double mask, to manifest the gift
of both tragic and comic powers to her favoured
son.

When the illustrations had been issued, the first
object of the paintings was served; and although
Johnßoydell appears to have nursed at some period
the hope of presenting them to the nation, changes
in the current of events, and the stagnation in his
own department of commerce, contingent upon the
French revolution, obliged him to abandon so muni•
ficent an intention ; and the Government accorded
to him the privilege of disposing of them by lottery.
Thus, in 1804, were distributed the paintings and
drawings of the celebrated Shakspere Gallery; the
collector, or rather patron, by whore they had been
called into existence, and who had, on th© whole,
laid 0utX350,000 on the arts, being then in hisBsth
year. Besides the original works so disposed of,
his stock of copper-plates was so immense that all
the printsellers of Europe coald not, he thought,
purchase it.
Most of our readers may hardly require to be
reminded that the building in Pall Mall was pur-
chased by the British Institution, and that the front
of No. 52 displays, as it has done for three.quarters
of a century, the apotheosis of Shakspere.

THE TEMPORARY BRIDGE AT BLADEFSIARS.,
The temporary bridge is no mean structure. In its
..
way it deserves to rank as a respectable work of art, espe-
cially considering how quickly it
the
safe mechanical prin-
ciples is adapted by its solidity, an
ciples of its construction, to last quite as long and bear as
heavy a traffic as the old bridge, which has so long tottered
upon crutches hard by. It was as ingenious device to con-
struct this bridge in two floors or stories, the necessary
accommodation for carriages and foot passengers being
thereby secured at the least
isoft
expenditure of space and mate-
rial. This wooden bridge 9 in length, and the upper
i
desned
story is 16ft above that designed for carriages. The upper
story will
accommodate foot passengers by means of two
footways, each. 9ft in width ; the footways of old Blackfriars
are only 7ft wlcle• The lower floor is 26ft in width, which
is the same width as the roadway of the old bridge. We
are the more part!cular in giving these figures, in order to
forestall the complaints which usually abound when the
public are required to conform to new usages, and bear with
some little inconvenience for the furtherance
of some object
of utility, That the wooden bridge will bear all the burdens
put upon it are tolerably certain, for its foundations are re-
markably substantial. the loier piles are only lBft apart.
and are driven 10ft into the bed of the river, and the trans-
verse piles which carry the roadway are only 7ft apart from
centre to centre. These parts are braced together with great
firmness,' so that the vibration common to wooden bridges
will be reduced to a minimum. The openings fur the river
aro each 70ft span, formed of iron girders Eft in depth. As
regards the gradients of this bridge, horses have the but of
it. The incline of the old bridge is 1 in 24, but for the
roadway of the wooden bridge the same gradient as that of
the new Blackfriars-bridge has been adopted, namely, 1 in
40; but, as the footway, for passengers is carried left above
the roadway, pedestrians are here placed at a considerable
disadvantage ; they will, in fact, have to ascend gradients
of 1 in 10 at the approaches, but, that difficulty over, the
remainder of the journey will bo almost a dead level. The
first pile of the bridge was driven on the 11th August last
year, and the bridge was finished in a period of less than
eight months; the result is a noble specimen of engineering.
The number of piles which support the bridge is 300, and
the depth of the timber below high water mark is 40ft.
Messrs. Rennie and Logan, the contractors, and Mr. Scott,
the superintendent engineer, deserve the highest praise for
the very satisfacwry manner in which this provision for the
traffic during the construction of the new bridge has been
carried out,—City Press.
