Of attendance, and that reason is found in the
want of some adventitious attraction to draw
the outside public to the Opera house. The
season will close this week. The manager will
give twelve evening performances and two Ma
tinfes, and his programme so far includes no
new work, introduces no fresh artist. Not that
the old artists are unsatisfactory or the old
operas disagreeable-on the contrary, the ar
fists are very good and the selection of operas
very grateful to the musical public. But
it has long ago been settled that the public,
which goes to the Opera simply for the sake OF
the OPERA is not sufficient to support it. There
must be some excitement, some coup de theatre
to draw the curiosity-loving public. 1t is of
little consequence what the peculiar excitement
is. In the old time of the Astor Place Opera
house the relations of Fry, the manager, with
some of his artists were not of the most amiable
character. Their quarrels extended to the
foot of the curtain, where some scenes not
promised in the bills were enacted The Gu
rious public, which did not care a straw for
the chef d'euures of Rossi.i, or Bellini, or Mo-
Eart-which disregarded altogether the trills of
Trufii and the ut of Benedetti-rushed in crowds
to witness passage at arms between the irate
tenor and the no less indignant manager upon
some petty question of the coulisses. Jenny
Lind and Sontag drew more on ac-
count of their personal history than
their artistic qualifications, and the for
mer were skilfully placed before the public,
uyh;Ja thu latter wara opsdarad &c aaoopdoru
matters, to be taken for granted if considered
at all. Then, with Piccolomini: she had fine
artistic reputation and certain personal sur
roundings of an attractive character The pub
lie received her with ardor; but that might
have cooled had it not been for the ferocious
charge of the three hungry Frenchmen," as
savage as that of half famished Zouave on an
enemy's ration chest. This made the public
laugh and talk a great deal about Piccolomini.
Then came the celebrated bulletins of Ullman,
and skilful manner Of keeping up the excite
ment won the public attention, and then the
petite and piquant prima donna was sure of
success.
Whether or not we are to have an operate
excitement this year we cannot yet pretend to
say. So far the theatrical folks seem to have
had the best of it. That the Opera will
always be the favorite amusement of the
refined classes of the community is be-
yond peradventure; but at present, if the
managers hope for the public voice and the
public dollars, they must create the excitement
which the public Graves. In no other way can
the Opera be made to meet its necessarily very
heavy expenses and the musical public be per-
mitted to enjoy its most agreeable of luxuries.

Yachting Under Difficulties.

The weather has not been ALL indeed anything that
could be desired for the Fall Regatta of the New York
Yaeht Club. The first day fixed Thursday last,
when, in spite Of severe rain Storm accompanied with
light wind from the north and east nearly all the yachts
assembled at the place fixed for the start-Owls Head,
Long Island The weather bitterly bad however,
that became necessary to postpone the till Friday.
On that morning. although the wind remained the same
quarter, things looked little brighter the steamboat
Stevens chartered for the of tho Club left pier
No. North River, punctualy at the hour ixed-ten
O'Clock in the morning. Arrived at Owls Head tho feet
found to be somewhat diminished OF the third class
sloops only the Naragansett appeared OF the second
class only the Mallory which went scuddng in tho
storm like white waterfowl The Rebecca appeared
ready to SAIL but her competitor the Restless had with
drawn. The schooners Znga, Favorta and Gpsey wore
hand and the only contest of the day to BIO be-
tween them But that necessary article breeze,
lacking.
There was, indeed, no wind worth speaking or The
yachts however, started at about IL O'clock and drteA
down to the Hook. It appeared evident then that the
Ightshp could not be reached till very late at night If at
all, and SO the race abandoned for the day The
smaller yachts got tow back to the city. The Rebecca

sacred on St Barthoemew's day and the Sici-
liam Vespers, burnt Huss, Cranmer and Rid
ley, drove the Puritans from England
and the Quakers from Massachusetts, hanged
tie witches at Salem and would still, if it
could, renew the tortures of the wheel and
stake for opinions sake. In every age and
under every form this spirit seeks to clothe
itself with the robe of righteousness, and
blasphemes the name of the Almighty by claim
ing to be the great expounder of His will on
earth. These brutal fanatics are nothing more
than living witnesses of their own insignif-
canoe, for if they possessed the Importance in
the great scheme of human salvation which
they ignorantly and blasphemously claim,
Divine Providence would soon sweep them
from the face of the earth which they pollue.
In the stupid attack they have made upon
the HERALD we cannot wonder that they lie so
badly about our views and motives when they
dare assume the right to speak for their Maker.
So far from attacking the religious and social
fabric of the age in our advocacy of release
from the tyranny of Sunday Legislation, we
would preserve both society and religion from
the brutal attempt of a few sectarian fanatics
to impose their Pharasaical rule upon the rest
of the community. We deny to any small por-
ton of society the right to dictate to all the
rest how and in what manner it shall
support any particular day We claim for
each the right to observe the day of rest from
labor as his religion may teach or his neoessi-
ties demand, and for all, that every one shall
respect the right of his neighbor so to do. Let
the disappearing claimants to Divine represen-
taton learn in the popular support and pros
perity which the HERALD has received, and is
receiving from protesting Christians of every
denomination, the position of truth and their
own utter insignificance.
