OLE BULLS CONCERT AT THE OPERA HoUsE-HIs
FALLS OF NIAoARA-ITs EXTRAORDINARY REcEP.
rIoN-Last evening quite a novel and interesting
scene took place at the concert of Ole Bull at the
close of the performance OF his new piece of
music called Niagara" The house was most
deasely crowded, by fashionable and every kind
OF an audience. Ole Bulls usual pieces, which
had been heard SO frequently BEFORE were perform
ed, as usual, amid vociferous applause. Sanquirico.
In his two arias, was also applauded highly, and
even Miss Northal, youthful debutante, was
iavoraby noticed.
But the great feature, the novel feature of the
evening was the last piece, the famous new COM
position called Niagara" of which so much has
been said and sung. Here was the fun.
This composition we heard for the first time, and
we must say that, in beautiful harmonies-in orr
glnal combinations, il is most extraordinary and
brilliant You hear the deep thunder of the DATA
ract-then comes mp the sharp surging Of the wa
ters-then the distant rushing Of the rapids-sowly
succeeded by the notes of the wild birds in the
trees all dying away, as it weie, into distant
sound losing itself in the sky the heavens above.
In the midst and towards the close of these beau.
tful harmonies, your senses are recalled to earth
by the sprngng up in the waste OF sounds, as if by
enchantment, the simple melody OF Long time
aso," most beautifully played with variations,
with which the piece closes.
This piece, TO a true musical ear, was most ori-
ginal and beautiful, yet it was received by the
audience with almost perfect sience-and the
same audience, too, that vociterously applauded
the ordinary pieces which preceded it. In fact the
great crowd were astonished at the piece-asto-
nished at Ole Bull -astonished at themselves, and
will, no doubt, astonish the public. 1t was a COM
plete failure, 30 far its cool reception may be
construed into judgment of public opinion-yet,
it is one of the most beautiful and original pieces
ever played by Ole Bull A great musical con-
troversy will arise on this question and we have
no doubt, he will have to engage another and a
larger house, in order to determine this new and
important question affecting the musical taste Of
New York. In Italy, the best operas have fire.
quently been damned on the first night, until after
long contest, involving quarrels, dueIs, &c. &c,
originality and genius prevailing in the end-as
they always will.
This will be the first musical contest on the
same point that ever took place in this country.
We expect great amusement to grow out of the
matter. So look out for fun. Vive! Ole Bull

NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE We published yester-
day erclusivy, the whole of the deeply interesting
report Of the Secretary Of the Treasury. The
Journal of Commerce was the only other paper
that gave even brief portion Of 1.-THE others
gave mere paragraphs. This is only what we are
always doing. Only few days before we pub
lished in advance of all our contemporaries the
famous report of the Secretary Of State, and we
are prepared in all cases. to outstrip all other jour-
naa in the qualifications Of every Pioeo of important
public intelligence.

BISHOP ONDKRDoNK's TRIAL.-The most intense
anxiety still exists in relation to the trial Of Bishop
Onderdonk, and the most extraordinary statements
circulated in private circles throughout the city,
but particularly in the religious circles.
We learn that two ladies have been examined,
Mrs. B. of this city. and Mrs. B. Of Boston.
Their testimony has been rather hard on the
Bishop, in relation to some small matters but il is
not supposed that it will be made public for some
time. We understand further that a number Of
ladies of this city and of Troy, and other parts,
have yet to be examined, and that their evidence
will be Of truly remarkable character. 1t is
stated in some quarters that the whole of the
charges preferred against Bishop Onderdonk, will
be published at length after The trial shall
have terminated and the decision been gwen
If they publish the charges, they certainly
must also publish the whole Of the testi-
mony il it be published, and we don't see
how it can be withhsld from the public, it will be
of the most precious revelations OF clerical mo.
rality and manners ever made in any church in
Chrstendom, or out of it. The novels of Sue,
Bulwer, and Paul de Kock, wont sell at all by the
newsboys as soon as those matters come fairly out
under the sanction Of the one and twenty Bishops
now assembled in this city.
The awful manifesto recently issued by the Epis-
copal Convention in Philadelphia, in which the er-
rors OF the Church Of Rome were pictured in such
eloquent terms, will be as dust in the balance to the
forthcoming manifesto on the Episcopal oversight
and care of "the fock," as conducted by the mo-
dern Successors of Matthew, Mark Luke and John.
