The Board Of Councilmen met last night but did

AcspsNY OF Musrc.-Lpcre:id Borgia net last
night with its usual success at the hands of Madame
Gris and Signors Mario and Susin The splendor OF
the stage appointments accord with the sunptuous-
ness Of the auditorium and the brlliancy Of the audi
ence Certainly nowhere else in the City is there an
approximation TO the stage effects Of the opera
house. The scenery of Alegri alone would compen.
safe for visit to the opera. Tbis artist pupil
of the great discoverer Of the Daguerreotype-Da
cuerre-and through him learned atmospheric effects
in tintng that render his landscapes delicious pieces
of mimic nature; and his interior scenes beside are
without equal in this country, for their architectural
fidelity their knowledge Of proportion and penpect-
ive OF the performance of the opera last night we
have nothing new to add, the principals showing
themselves incompatible usual and all the scces-
sorry effects being rendered with customary excellence
CoycERr.-Mr VIM. Mason Of Boston, who has,
after much study in Europe qualified himself to take
first rank pianist, will give his first public Con-
cert this Thursday) evening at Nblo's Saloon as
sisted by the Brothers Mollenhauer. The event ex-
cites much sympathetic interest in the musical circles
We learn that Messrs Willard & Eytinge, pro-
prie,ors of the Metropolitan Theater, had hire-up
yesterday morning during the rehearsal, when some
pretty bard words passed between them The row
resulted in EytDge taking his leave, which he did
last evening. The immediate cause OF the difficulty
did not transpre.
Among the new publications of the is self
instructor for the Piano Forte according to c.
Mahonnys new system of Musical Notation, which
expresses all musical compositions both vocal and
instrumental by the first letters Of the alphabet,
without lines spaces, notes as in general USE The
plan is exceedingly simple that the difficulty which
has existed heretofore in the reading of music 49, by
this system the author afirms entirely done away With,
so much SO that the most difficult musical composition
when printed ia in appearance like the simplest.
Whether it will be adopted in preference to thepre-
sent system of notation is another affair all pro-
ecors in this line having failed TO achieve their OBJ
ject This system is highly recommended by some Of
the leading musicians of this City, in so far as ii is
used by raised character, for the blind Among the
names are those of VIM. Vincent Wallese, Tins &
Scharfenberg, r. Stors Willis, &c. Many letters
commendatory of this system in possession of The
inventor among which may be mentioned one from
her Majesty Queen Victoria. The author of the
system SAYS that teachers will find it valuable as
/
inventor is graduate of the NewYork Institution for
the Blind, and music teacher. Persons wishing any
information in regard TO the system will please adj
