sas No Mr. Meade set forth the great
49, of the art in America, and pressed upon him
w. anxiety of artists to get portrait OF the
Sscoyerer, but all to no purpose NJ Daguerre
sros proud of the estimation in which he was held
= America, he was proud of the great Republic,
ST. he had refused every appeal heretofore and
- could not now yield. Thus baiiied, Mr.. Meade
er.s about to yield the point when Yankee
:soo downed upon him which at once changed his
soctics and won the victory ". Daguerre had in
II, family a niece, an interesting young lady, with
,rhorn Mr. Meade became well acquainted, as he
rsmained several days at the place. Just as he
vas about giving up all hope OF the portrait he
met her and told her how much he was disappoint-
ed in not inducing NJ. Dagneno to sit for pic
,nre. Tie girl told him not to be discouraged,
that size would try the arts ofpersuosion upon her
goodnatured old uncle, and that she hoped to sue
ced. Mr.. Nj. agreed to the arrangement, and,
having strong faith in the persuasive powers of
love and beauty came back day or two alter
ward with all bis apparatus ready for operating
He found NJ Dagucre clad in rough blouse and
at work in his garden. Nothing daunted, Mr..
Meade walked up and told him that he had come
iOtake his portrait. Still in expectation OF re-
fusa he was greatly surprised when N. Daguerre,
without saving word dropped his hoe went INTO
the house, and in few minutes appeared in gen
teel dress with the of honor upon his breast,
and announced himself ready to sit. They pro
ceeded at once to the laboratory, where Mr..
Meade executed several most excellent likenesses
Of the great inventor, giving one to him and one
20 the necc. and bringing the others to this coun-
e IL. Il ,t,,,,,
he was so much indebted, and both this and the
likeness of Monster Daguerre, and view of his
chateau can now be seen at the Rooms of Meade
Brothers, No 233 Broadway. Such is sketch of
the first dagucneotyping Of the first daguerreotyp-
ist in tie world Mr.. Meade enjoyed the hospi-
tality of the illustrious Frenchnan for consider
able period and is still on his LIST of personal
friends H saw, while there, the first dagHcrreo-
type ever madea view of the spires and Chin
nev.pots of Brie sur Marine, the village where NJ
Daguerre resides. 1t is needless to say that 1t
has few Of the marks of perfection which the art
has since attained.
THE OpEKA.--SIGNoRGNA PARoDI-We were
Yesterday shown n letter from this lady stating
that she should sail for New York on board the
Pacific, which was to leave Liverpool on last
Wednesday, the 10th inst, She may accordingly
be expected here by Monday the 27th at the fur
thest and will soon after make her debut at Aston
Place. She has decided that this shall be either
in Norma or Lucrc-ia Borgja This settles all
doubt as to her coming.
Parodi is pupil of the great Pasta, whose
STYLE and genius she emuates not without sue
cess She made her first appearance at the
Queens Theater, London, in conjunction we
believe, with that renowned artist, who returned
once more TO the stage in order to introduce her
protegGc to the public, Parodi is somewhat above
the ordinary size, of fine presence with full,
rich voice, which, like her acting, is electric with
life and passion. She will make great impress
sion here, and we doubt not, will add enough to
the popularity and success OF the Opera to justify
the heavy outlay requisite to secure her for New
York.
~ w have had the pleasure OF being pre-
sent at rehearsal ofthc FrySch0t-, to be brought
out at the Astorplacc Opera House on Monday
next, and shall be very much mistaken if this
Oper does not prove even more profitable to the
Manager than Don Gioranai We DO not intend
to discuss the relative merits of these two great
emanations of genius but we do not hesitate to
y
five music of w ebers masterpiece is more pow
erful. because it is less subjective than that OF
Mozart. for while it emnently possesses all the
requisites of a classical work without, however,
its imposing colmness,) it essentially is music
for the people" In asserting this, we do not
mean TO say that Don Gi0r0RNl is not music for
the people, for it would be preposterops to ques-
ton its popularity, but we believe that Weber IN
his FieySclats firmly strikes the hearts chords OF
the people, whereas Mozarts touch makes them
only vibrate.
