/ list, makes his temperance ct the Tabernacle to-
night, having now completely recovered from the
severe indlspositon with which he was seized in
Boston. According to all accounts, the re-appear-
Of this distinguished artist will cause revival
in the musical and fashionable circles, of the same
feeling of enthusiasm towards the divine art, which
marked his first appearance.
Every chord in the human frame answers to De
Meyers strains every tear that rises at the bidding
Of his cadences every sob that struggles for an
outlet at his touches Of despairng tenderness, or
the thunders of his massive harmony, is a tribute TO
his power and his memory, enough to console his
spirit, if it can still be conscious of them, or to have
rewarded his living labors in their progress, by
bright anticipation Of their effects. Music-this d-
vine art involves deep, systematic study, closely
akin to that of the severer sciences. It has Sc
quence and logic Of its own; and excellence in it is
unattainable without good sense and strong INTEL
lect. 1t involves great moral and pathetic sensi-
bility, and a ready sympathy with all the joys
end sorrows of mankind. The highest branch Of it
is beyond the reach Of any but those who are lifted
up by strong feelings reverence and devotion. The
object OF musical compositions is not merely to
please men, but to make them better. Haydn, when
engaged in composing the Creation" used to say:
81 felt myself so penetrated with religious feeling,
that, before sat down to write, earnestly prayed
to God that he would enable me to praise him wor-
thily." Music belongs to mankind at large, open
to all, and enjoyable by all who have the Guilty to
perceive and delight in its beauties and in every
part, throughout the world, portion Of its divine
and various influence, suited to the scene and occa-
sion, is always within reach, to make men better
and gentler, happier and holier, than they would
otherwise be without such manifestations of their
Makers wondrous gifts.
What a singular, ecceotric, craving, versatile
people we are In New York From the high
est to the lowest, throughout the whole extent OF
society-from on Corlear's Hook on to the up town
squares, the same feelings exist. After De Never
made his disappearance from this city, few
months since, the musical fever abated rapidly
as rapidly as the changes of our eccentric eli
mate. BY the effort originality and enterprise of the
Park Theatre, combined with the Keans, mania
for the legitimate drama succeeded that period of
musical excitement. The fashionable circles crowd
ed night after night to witness the representation of
"Richard the THIRD" in its new toggery and dra-
perry. There was end to that, and there is eyery
appearance of another agitation In the fashionable
and musical circles of this city, in relation to the
poetry of motion as well as music The beautiful
Augusta has made, In two nights, great sensation
among the lovers of the ballet and the divine art of
dancing, such as never marked the city since the
departure OF Fanny Elssler and according to eyery
appearance, the musical circles will be drawn out in
equal abundance by the Temperance of Mr.. De
Meyer, at the Tabernacle. All the musical circles
IN the city have been discussing this temperance
for some days past. Some of our most distinguish
ed citizens have purchased whole bundles of tickets,
and it is believed that the Temperance will again
revive all that enthusiasm which marked his first
appearance in this city. This, we believe, will be
his only night here previous to his departure for the
regions of the sunny South.
