Ronsn Catholics have rendered themselves pecul-
iarly liable to this charge by gresser violations Of
chuI ch civilties. We do not can attention to them
because they Catholics but because they are not
polite. This obcourtesy on their part is ct least
candid, end aside from the physical inconvenience Of
standing, it il much lees embarrassing to "intrads
upon their sanity privacy than upon thst of other
denominations. Prot.stsxts expect TO stand in their
siks though dozens of empty pews With locked doos

1t is by no means our purpose to draw invldious
distinctions; the etiquette here Of Catholic congregs
tops-so widely different from the same in Europe
may be part Of their peculiar polite system, in.
duced by too frequent abuses Of their hosp tality.
After ell, good manners are of no Sect and We find
the implied Indifference OF Protsstslts quite a. ofens

no excuse for the former while violations Of decorum

ACADEMY OF MusIc.-I Puritani was performed
last night. We have seen 1t produce more effect. In
one part of his solo, III. Morei, usually 20 thorough
in his part appeared uncertain; nor did the soprano
and bass duet bring down the customary applause;
FOR yet the beautiful te, ocara. The first act, a.
iuI 81 VIC Saw IL, was uot particularly uVoiy. Out
10 character shows Mad. La Grange to more advsnt-
age than Evirs, where the supremacy Of her vocal
izstion is clear. The Academy season Is now ap.
proachI z its end and the lovers of opera will have
but few opportunities Of tasting lyrical sweets at that
source.
NKw NUIc.-Messs. Scubsrth & Co. have published
"Le Prophetic, Grand Fantasia par Charles Mayer"
PIP. 81. In this the leading ideas Of Meyerbeer are
displayed and connected in mastery fashion, adapt
ed, however, to pupils who have acquired the higher
qualities Of execution. Schuberth's House is Ger
man one, with an American branch; so oil their works
are properly German.

dition to japan, and formerly correspondent Of The

China which will be ready for exhibition In the course
Of couple Of months when II will be produ ,ed in this
