was occupied IN hearing several parties who own

Regent OF THE UNryERsnY-The three po-
litical parties Of our Legislature have been
casting about each for proper candidate
for Regent of the University; and as with
everything else Of late, great or small,
they made a practical job of it A man
distinguished In the walks Of literature would
certainly have been the proper man for the
place, and such man is William G. Bryant.
But Bryant was ignored, and some obscure vii
lage politician, of the name of Burroughs, with
q little niger under his right arm, and dark
lantern ia his left hand. Is 10 receive this homo
rary appointment This is but another of the
increasing evidences we have from day TO day
Of the utter degcncracy and rottenncss Of the
dirty pipe layers of our political parties. We
except none. Democrats, republicans and Amc-
ricans they are all alike. AS a Regent of the
University. the name Of Bryant would have
conferred honor upon the place; but this was
too much for the narrow comprehension Of our
housing politicians at Albany

Tn OPERA AT HAVANA AID NEW YORK;
When our Cuban ncighbors get up an excite
ment there is no half way business about IT,
Lattcrly they have been laboring under per-
feet tornado of enthusiasm about the singers Of
Mr.. Mareizeks troupe, particularly Mile Freq
zolini and Nine. De Gazzaniga These rival
prime doars have each party more fierce than
the Cspulets, more hot than the Montagues.
The 1ivorc spread through all Glasses Of society.
Even the staid commercial correspondents, who
once only talked about the state of the sugar
market. the price Of doubl0ons, the value Of
niggers, or the rate of exchange, now write of
cadences, and trils and shakes, and roulades
and benefits and wreaths, and other details Of
the theatre We read that after the benefit of
one of the prime dome, grand old hidalgo
drives her home in his own carriage that she
is serenaded by military band presented with
"a silver box containing four thousand dollars
and u gold CROWN to the other nightingale
sundry rich gifts were donated; lady threw
her head dress " to her favorte and another
Literally tore her magnificent pearl earrings
from her ears and threw them on the stage"
1t will he remembered that no one went mad
with delight when these singers appeared in
this city. We fear that there is no probability
that any New York lady will throw her ear
rings 10 prima donna. Some of our bellies
would be more likely to take the singers jewels
to adorn their own persons. 1t is only in
Havana where they have real solid enthusiasm
and, as Mr.. Maretzek is not one of those persons
who give up good thing for an uncertainty,
be has concluded to remain some time longer
among the gems of the Antilles.
Meantime, Mr.. Ullman, after triumphal
foray upon the rural districts, turns his steps
again towards the metropolis and announces
that he will commence his spring season at the
Academy on Monday next with the "Puritani,"
in which La Grange, Formes, Tiberini easier
and others will sing. In addition to the regular
Opera nights, he gives notintcs; aud is pre-
pairing for some grand promenade concerts,
under the brto Of the famous composer
and conductor. Musard. The most in
teresting feaAute In Mr. Ullman's official
programme. however, is the announcement that
he intends TO produce Mr.. William II. Fry's ope-
"a, "Leonora,' during the coming month. The
opera is to be done in a style worthy Of the
occasion, " as il is 'the first grand opera by an
American composer ever performed at the
Academy Of Music We say this will be the
most interesting event Of the season, because il
is claimed by Mr.. Fry's friends that "Leanora"
Is the greatest opera ever composed, and better
than anything that has ever been written by
Mozart, Handel, Haydn, Beethoven, Verdi,
Donzetti, Bellini and all the long line Of illus
trious masters Of crochets and quavers. II was
| produced twelve OF fifteen years ago at Phila-
delphia but IL is said was killed by the incom-
potency of the singers. Now II is to be per-
formed under the most favorable auspices. and
VIC must all give it q fair chance.
