This is most remarkable statement. We did
not attend the concert oursef, but our reporter
was present, and according to his account there
were about one thousand persons present. In some
of the journals of the day, we believe this was
sweled to about two thousand. But 1t seems that
all these statements were erroneous, and that the
official statement which we have given only puts
the number of tickets actually sold at fve hundred
and Mly.elght This strikes as with great deal
Of suftrise. Previous 10 the concert, considering
the high reputation of Madame Pico-the admira-
ton which she has created in this city-her great
talents-and various other circumstances, we had
been led to expect that she would at least make
from one thousand to fifteen hundred dollars by
this concert, and almost fill the Tabernacle. The
comparative failure has surprised US much, and
leads US to reflect upon and call up the circun-
stances antecedent to that event, in order to dis
cover the causes Of this falling of.
1t will be recollected that Madame Pico com.
menced her career in this city without any par
tcular noise or previous announcement o. her su-
perior attractions. Her name had never been
heard in this country before her arrival, but, as
soon as she made her appearance, the superiority
of her voice-the sweetness of its tones-the accu
racy OF her taste-at once attracted great deal Of
public attention, and in very brief period Madame
Pico was an established favorite. Owing to Ger
tain circumstances soon after her first appearance,
a certain clique seized hold upon her good fortune,
and endeavoreG to create out Of it a rivalry be-
tween her and Borghese, which was pushed on
with great degree Of folly and absurdity by Viii
lis, and a set of miserable creatures about him,
who are we'll known. This has inflicted no incon-
siderable injury on Madame Pico-affecting her
far more inJuriousy than if she had been left to the
unsolicited generosity of the public of New York.
series of articles were published in the Evening
abortion, written in no Christian tongue, exhi-
biting the utmest Ignorance Of music, opera, and
all connected Herewith, and remarkable only for
a mingled tone Of sarcasm and badinage, which was
passed off upon the amiable prima donna as in the
quintessence of compliment, whilst people were
laughing at it all round town. But the result was
quarrel between Borghese and Pico-the break
ing up of the opera-the leaving of Madame Pico
alone here, and the result we have seen in recent
events.
As for Madame Pico herself, she is a most excel
lent artist She is an amable and accomplished
woman, and will always maintain high position
in the musical drama. We yet hope to see the
Italian opera reconstructed here of the best mater
ais, and to see Madame Pico again take that posi-
ton to which by her talents she is justly entitled,
but no more to be an instrument Of creating diff
Guilty and rivary-whch are injurious to all con-
cerned, and which the Maralls Of the press so
delight to create.
