The Academy OF Music-WsII,.u. TAN
The scene presented by the Academy last night was
even more brilliant and imposing than ON any former
OCCASION great as has been the Of It's last
sentstions The house was literally crammed from tor
to bottom, and the coup da offered by this vast con-

aspect Of the house the fact that the gallery
was as closely packed as any other part OF
the theatre proving that 1t only required a
iudicious scale Of prices to popularize this
amusement with the general public. We have so.

excellent voice, and did fuu justice to their scores
1t had been III nounced by the management that the
opera of last night be the last OF their
tons previous tohe visit Of the troupe to Boston. On
entering the theatre, q bill was placed in our hand
altering this arrangement and stating that in conse
quence Of . request forwarded to them by Mr.. Barry
the director Of the Boston theatre to postpone their ap
pearanoe until Monday, the 21st inst instead Of Thurs
day next as previously agreed upon, two represen-

departure-one Wednesday, and the other or,
Friday. is but due to the managers OF
he Academy to state that this change Of plan is In.
wise to be attributed TO them. Every thing had been
positively fixed for their departure and part Of the pro
perties had been packed up. The alteration, we
believe is simply owing to the fact that Mr. Berry
obliged to devote several niehts in the present
the benefits OF the actors of his theatre which 1t had
been hoped could have been arranged inter

troupe to that city. In the meanwhile the public viii
have to regret this fortuitous circumstance
inasmuch as it will procure them two additional eve

pronounced the finest and most effective that have ever
been produced in this city.
The negotiations between the Ulman and Jacobsohr
coalition and the autocrats OF the Academy seem far
from conclusion The conferences have been
frequent and stormy, but there such conflict of in
erests and purposes between the allies themselves and
such disposition to impose terms which it does not
accept, that We fear both parties will be compelled to-
revert to the status quo belu. Another meeting
we understand held between the beigerents last
night but up late hour there were no prospects of
an ami:abs solution of the difficulty. What the points
OF difference are we are not OF course, informed the
plenipotenaries on both sides preserving q diplo-
matte secresy on the subject We presume, no weve.,
that Jacobsohn holds out for larger material
in the shape Of ssmonsh' than the autocrats think
they are justified in granting, that the conference

OF the Academy and manager Of the press-the Che
Waller Wikof- was not present at the meeting, being
more agreeably employed in doing the honors of his
