the steamer Baltic, which steamship was t. sail
on the 9th. They alread. &C sert'sed to appear

ing announcement relative to their recsptt,n:-

Bst &dway, between hours of IL O'Clock, A. And
0'eloci p. H., on Friday and Saturday morning..
This must be Q singular "privase" excursion, to
whi.h four hundred ladies and gentlemen are to
be invited; and then others are to obtain tickets Of
the music sellers. That the great vocslists wh,
viii be received with tae above described honors are
wen worthy Of the compliment We believe; bat this
sost Of thug has already been overdone, and oil
the sensible people in town would prefer that
teDtatiously. There is no necessity for any great
advertising efforts in the case Of Gris and Mario.
The American public Is too well informed with
regard to their merits to make any such thing ne
cessary.
Years ago, when our managers eDgsged forsig"
artists the public was prepared for their Arrival by
the display of their porraits In the windows Of the
print shops, and their biographies ia the ne~spa
pers; extraordinary Displays Of enthusiasm on the
part Of portion Of the publ; sometimes occurred
after the artist had appeared, aud upon ons ocsp
zion Fanny Ellssler was drawn from the theatre {,
her hotel by Q number Of excited youths, toe
horses having been relieved from their task
and their harnesses, by the devotses of the legti
mste drama Jenny Liod came, and ~deu shs a.
rived the humbug Of her receipt ,n-csrpets flo SHs
serensdes, and % forth, while It made the uaskii
full laugh, the judicious grieved." Everybody ridi
culed such demonstrations, and new plan was
adopted The agents for the managers Of tue srt-
lists hit upon . novelty. The disturbances 10 Ed.
rope an the growing taste for music In this coun-
try, caused New York to be Q refuge for many
German and Italian musicians, woo became rel.
dents, and many CT them good citizens. Previous
to the arrival Of the great artist cir sympathies
and enthusiasm were aroused, and grand seeeasdes
were given, all of which proved to be good aad
cheap advertising for the Arst concert. Tais sys.
tem Was broken up by row whic ,;urred darias
Q monster serenade'' to the late Countess Rossi;
and for Grisi and Mario something new was
considered necessary, and the above named excur
sion is tie novelty. These appear to DO the
facts in the case, and We do not doubt that all
hat has been done or will be hereafter accom-
plisted, win be from tae purest motives; but
we do not see the pecessity or the pro.
priety of these demonstrations. Why should not
Grisi anG Mario be allowed to land here quietly,
and without any fuss at ALL Why should they not
pass o. quietly from Liverpool to New York as from
Paris to London, or from st. Petersburg TO Milan
They are great artists, and we intend 20 pay them
great deal Of money in exchange for their notes.
II is purely matter Of business, and should De 80
considered.
We hope that the private ex ,ursion" above no
tced will be successful and pleasant affair; but
we also trust that this will be the Last time that W.
sball be obliged to notice anything Of the sort.
We publish tnis uorning toe prog a ums for tbs
