Bc'tini during the day, bat that DESTROYS OF not
disappoiutips the public, be had endeavored to
perform his part, but found himself really unable
to proceed signor Beftiui had already created
the most favorable impression. An audience,
large and brilliant notwithstanding the extreme
i1clemency Of the evening, had received him IN
the most fattering manner, struck upon his en-.
trance by the maniness OF his MEN and the
avodable instinct of power in his bearing and de-
livery His voice, evidently hardened by Sc
we're cold. was full and true. and he rendered the
recitation and final duett of the first act with the
air of master. His failing, we apprehend, will
be found to be want of method. but he has all
the promise Of youth, talent and q most admirable
organ-whch IS yet not pure tenor, but bends
toward the Baritone. The whole performance
promised well, and we most sincerely regret for
Mr. Maretzek, no less than for the audience, the
unhappy event OF the evening.
Yet in strict Justice to Bettini we ought to
add that even had he been able to push through
the opera. he was fairly entitled to stop after ne
had made the trial, in consideration Of the posi-
bic consequent detriment TO his voice and the
feet that the fame of his debut here must neces-
Havana.
The Tickets We're returned to the audience
under a stipulation from the Manager that they
should be exchanged to-day for the money, or
would be valid for Saturday evening. For that
evening he announces Parodi with Bettini and
tonight Don Gforanni. 1t clearly will not be
Maretzeks fault if an Opera closes suddenly.
"a TIE ARTISTS of New York had pleasant
reunion, on Wednesday evening, at the rooms of
Tie National Academy of Design. The assembly
had no official connection with the Academy, bat
had been suggested at general meeting of that
institution, as an admirable step in the interests
of American art The company was very numer-
Gus and unanimous Mr.. DUGGAN spoke with
force aud spirit, suggesting memorials to Congress
and to the State Legislature for the adornment
Of the public buildings with characteristic works
Of American art, and Committee was appointed
to prepare such memorials, and to secure the CO.
operation of all American artists. 1t was further
determined to establish a course of public, popu
Jar lectures upon Art, by the proper men, and to
petition for an appropriation from the United
States Deposit fund in aid Of the Free Art Schools
of the National Academy of Design
We are glad to hear that these reunions are to
be periodical Agitation in the interest of Art
can awaken none of the heart.burnings that usu-
ally wait upon agtation--at least so long as it
is for Art itself and not for particular artists
