ANOTHER GRAND REvIvAL-SNow AND Music
No sooner does one revival in public amusements
arise from nothingness reach its eliminating point,
and recede into oblivion, than another takes its
place, in the same way that each bright and beauti-
full billow on Rockaway beach, follows the other,
and breaks on the shore. For the last fortnight, the
legitimate drama, at the metropolitan theatres, has
had an almost unparalleled success. But the snow
came, the bells ngled, the whips cracked, and now
who would believe it ?-ast evening, all the thea
tres presented almost empty rows OF boxes. In fact
tine snow has made complete theatrical revolution
in one day. Every one was sleighing, yesterday,
till late hour at night all through the night, and
they are sic ighng still After the present week,
however, when the Keans and the snow both de-
part, we shall have another musical revival.
First, of the great star of the day. We under
stand that Leopold De Meyer, who has been in this
city for week or ten days past, is recovering very
rapidly, and will soon be enabled to retake the po-
siton he formerly occupied, and will be ready to
commence his concerts in week or ten days more
Many reports have been circulated, some of them
malicious, relative to the nature of the accident
which affected his professional progress. They are
all untrue, to our certain knowledge for we know
from the best authority, that the change OF climate
and neglecting to take the care Of himself that he
should have done, in such transitions, he has thus
been merely affected in such degree as to create
no uaeasiness, and only requires little quiet, and
proper regimen to set him his legs, rather his
fingers again. His nerves have been slightly affect
ed, but fast recovering. He will be ready to re-
sumo his concerts, commencing with this city, in
due time. Whether he will be able to 60 South this
winter, we think il somewhat doubtful for when
he resumes those splendid so1Ses and brings out
those crowds which have always attended him, he
will have enough his hands occupy HIM for the
winter on this side Of Charleston South Carolina.
Some persons, we understand, have circulated, and
we have such statements in some obscure jour-
nal, that other artists are coming from Europe to ex
hibit their musical powers on the piano here. We
do not believe word Of these statements. They
are coined and put forth for malicious purpose, by
those little critics among us who always consider
themselves the Big Thunders In all things pertain
ing to musical knowledge and matters OF taste. De
Meyer can have no competitor while in this country;
and we have no doubt, when he resumes his con-
certs he will create as great musical revival at
tended him on his first appearance here.
The musical movements, however, may be said
to begin this week, with Burke, the violinist, at a
concert to be given on Saturday. This will be fol-
lowed by Madame Lazarre's concert next week,
the distinguished performer on the harp. We
trus however, that neither Of these occasions may
be injured by the great excitement growing out Of
sleighing, and driving to Harlem, while the snow
lasts Burke ought to have good attendance; if
those who call themselves his friends have any
feeling Of hberaity, they will give him full house.
He has been very kind In exhibiting his powers at
various soirSes among the fashionable circles Of this
city, and such kindness ought to be well repaid
when occasion offers He has, however, some up.
hill business to do, in coming before the country SO
soon after Ole Bull, whose power and genius are
considered pre-eminent. We trust, however,
wherever he goes, he will be favorably heard.
Madame Lazarrs is as distinguished on the harp as
Burke on the violin, and her concerts will, with
out doubt, be fully attended. The revival, how
ever will reach Its eliminating point as soon as De
Meyer is able to finger his instrument; and the mu-
steal revival-broad, long and deep-following in
the wake Of the sleighing excitement, will super.
cede the theatrical revival.
Thus we 90, in the fashionable world, as in every
other department Of humanity and nature. One
movement leads to another, as one wave follows
another on Coney Island beach. Apropos-While
slight mistake which has been circulated for
some time in musical circles, in regard to the mu.
steal department Of this journal We have heard Sc
veral times, that Mr.. Ullman, teacher of music in
this city, Is or has been the musical editor Of the
Nsp York Herald We pronouce this an entire mis-.
take; Mr.. Ullman has occasionally furnished us
with criticisms, and musical articles, which have
been published when we approved them, and re-
jected when we disapproved them. Hereafter,
however, we take this opportunity Of stating that
even that temporary connection with us has termi-
mated entirely He is not now even contributor,
in any respect, to the Mem York Herald.
Charitable and Religious.
