OPERA AND FAsHIoN.-In spite of all the good
advice which we have gwen to the manager of
the Opera, we are very much afraid that the con-
cern will turn out to be duplicate Of last years
affair.
During the week, the houses have been wretch.
edy thin-the performances passing off without
spirit, and the most liberal musical critics are gra
dually getting savage, even against their partlcu
lar friend, the manager. On Wednesday even
ing, &c Ernani" was performed, without Benedettl.
Nine hard rehearsals during three days, had COM
Tletey prostrated his powers, and he was unable
to make his appe arance IN the opera. Arnold,
new tenor, recently arrived from Italy, took the
part but without much power, voice, or talent, to
fill 1t decently. With the exception OF the sub
scrption nights, which are only tolerably filed by
a few fashionables, the houses are very cold and
very wretched. Even De Trebriant, the musical
aftaehf Of the French journal, begins to find fault
with manager Fry, in the most tender and touch
ing places. The criticisms of this person are,
some of them, bitter enough, almost amounting
to the savage temper of Forests famous card, but
expressed in much more gentlemanly, language
The extra nights, which Mr.. Fry got up tor the
"canaiue," are getting worse and verse, thinner
and thinner, and, In all probability, must be
given up.
We thought the management OF the opera, du-
ring last season, was bad, but really we much fear
that the management of this season will present
more woful spectacle than we have yet seen in the
way of opera tactics in New York. We are sorry
for MIR. Fry, for we are given to understand that
he is an amiable man, gentlemany in his manners,
but has not nerve enough to be able to guide o
manage an affair so complicated as an opera
establishment, with troupes, and cliques, and cri-
tics. and all sorts Of persons, hanging about HIM
and around him. We believe we shall have, one
of these days, to take him under our own protec-
ton, TO put little common sense into his head
and set HIM fairly on his pins again. 1t will be
charity for any one to give hand to person who
Is so amiable, and who has the disposition to do
well, but who has hitherto developed brains insuf-
fclent fer the crisis.

ADMINISTRATION OF CRIMINAL JUsTICE.-REcoR.
DER SCoTT.-During the recent election, several O.
the newspapers, which claim large stock of plety
and purity, pronounced numerous euogiums upon
the administration of criminal justice, under the
recordership Of Judge Scott while they were at
the same time terrible in their denunciations
against the character and calacity of Mr.. Tall
madge, the Recorder elect We did not join in any
ofhese excessive eulogies, or bitter denunciations
although some strange applications were made to
us by member of the bar friendly to Scott. We
desired to do justice to all parties, and trusted to
time to bring the truth out Of darkness, and purity
out of the deep night.
We have heard, however, of a recent case spring
ing up in the administration OF criminal justice
which demands serious investigation, and which,
we believe, will be listened to by the great bulk of
the public.
According to the laws of this State, there are
certain cases Of orlmlnal information, IN which
Recorder has legal right to grant bail to the par
ties implicated, before an open examination has
taken place In presence of the committing justice
and any Judge or Recorder violating such legal
provision, renders himself amenable to impeach-
ment before higher tribunal. Now, among our
daily reports, IN the ordinary administration of
criminal affairs in this city, We have discovered a
very peculiar case, which appears to us to come
under the description we lave given, and to pre-
sent such features as to demand a calm and accu-
rate investigation, in order to discover whether
the statute has not been violated and some one has
not rendered himself amenablc TO the law of i'm
peachment.
The recent statement made by Mr.. McKeon be-
fore the Recorder and concurred In by the latter
presents very serious case against Mr.. Acker,
the keeper ofthe Penitentiary, provided Mr.. Acker
has no strong Justification for his conduct The
next Grand Jury, 1t seems, is to be invoked In this
matter and Recorder Scott was right in concurlng.
We understand that preparations are also making
IN another quarter, to bring up case of lmpe ach
ment In a contrary direction, involving manifest
breach of the laws of this State In respect to the
requirements for bail. What connection this lat
ter case may have with the present Recorder and
one two lawyers, we will inquire at an early
day next week. Let justice be done 10 justices,
and law dispensed to lawyers.
The administration of criminal justice is one of
the most important advantages of civilized
society and free government But thls admins
tratlon Ought to be pure, unpolluted, intelligent
correct, equitable in all its points and tendencies
If ignorance or mistaken motives change the
current OF justice, it becomes the duty Of
free press, unshrnSingly, boldly, and manfuly, to
defend the right against the wrong-to expose ig-
norance and imbecillity, even If perched upon the
bench for brief space of time, that the people
may have the opportunity, in their indignation, TO
drive it with odium from the high seat to which it
has added no honor.
