BALTIMORE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER q, 1860
THE OPERA

Gjmomento was played last night for the frs
time in this city. The music in tsefis very beauti
full, and a composition this opera must take rani
with the best; the Instrumentation is very neat
| and shows the genius Of the composer. Madame
Colson sang spIenddy, and was finely supported
| by the company, who seemed to be in the spirit o
the music, and sang with energy and effect. Mis-.
Adelaide Phillips was warmly applauded, and
justly so; she has a very rich voice, and in her
rendering OF the music. showed genius of no ordi.
nary degree. The orchestra is effective and we'll
drilled, and is grateful contrast to the miserable
apology for an orchestra which Mr. Strakosch gave
us on his last visit Indeed, it is well worth the
price of admission to hear music perfectly PLAYED,
and the effect which can only be properly conveyed
by fine orchestra. Signor Brignoli was in voice
and hHmor, and fully sustained his part, which is
difficult one; and Signor Ferr sang well, and was
encored. The opera, upon the whole went of
finely.
To night, Madame Colson takes benefit, and has
selected Rigoletto admired opera of Verdi's, for
the occasion. We trust that crowds will flock to
do this favorite canatrice honor-for she certainly
deserves at the hands of public substantial
testimonial of their appreciation. The cast includes
Coson as Gilda, Miss Phillips as Nagdaen SbrigIia
as the Duke Of Maniua, Coletti, and Ferri in his
great role of Rjgoletto, in which he is said to be
unsurpassed. We have never heard the compost
ton, but understand that it ranks with the best of
Yerdrs efforts.
On Saturday night we are to have Rossini's Nose
an Egito, one of his most elaborate works, which
we shall take occasion to describe tomorrow.

VISIT OF THE EMPRESS THE FRENCH TO TIL
QUEEN.-The Empress Eugene arrived at Windsor
the afternoon of Dec. l. in one of the state car
riages of the Great Western railway, for the pur
pose of paying a visit to her Majesty and the
Prince Consort In accordance with the wishe!
expressed by the Empress that her visit should bt
considered strictly Of a private character, the
guard of honor was dispensed with, and even the
time that her Majesty might be expected to arrive
was announced to the officials about an hour only
previous to her arrival, consequently grea
crowd at the station was avoided. The royal trair
was under the charge of the new superintendent
Mr.. Kelly.
The Prince Consort, accompanied by Lord Charlie!
Fitzroy and Capt. Du Plat, to the station at
O'Clock, and awaited in the royal saloon her Ma
iesty's arrival Precisely at ten minutes past ont
O'Clock the Empress arrived, when the Prince Con
sort left the royal wating-room and PROCEEDED
across the platform, and cordially shook hand:
with her as she left the carriage. Her Majesty
took the Princes arm, and passed through the sa-
loon, and entered one of the royal pony carriage:
and proceeded with the Prince to the Castle Two
other carriages followed, with the ladies and gen.
tlemen of her suite.
The Empress, as she left the station, and along
the whole line of route to the Castle, was loudly
cheered, and during her stay the bells of St. Johns
Church sent forth merry peals. The Empress, af
ter luncheon, took leave of the Queen and the roy
al family and after leaving the Castle paid visit
to her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, al
trogmore Lodge, accompanied by the Prince Con
sort. At 80 the Empress arrived at the station
and passed through the Queens waiting room tC
the state carriage, leaning on the arm of the Prince
ConsOrt. Here the Prince took leave OF the EN-
press. Her Majesty appeared in good health bu
not SO in spirits, and with an amiabe, though some
what pensive smile, she gracefully bowed to the
company as the train slowly proceeded from the sta
tiOO.

The following is the speech made by Judge Ma
grath on Wednesday, in reply to Chancellor
Dunkin:
Mr.. Magrath said-If we were now in a condition of
profound peace and about inaugurae this act of
sion of South Carolina from the brotherhood of states in
condition of good will and good wishes that resolution
would be proper and necessary but when we are about to
consummate this great act without the good will and
pOrtant that South Carolina should know if the rights
claimed in behalf OF the government be exercised
wouldn't be well to inquire whether she shall defer
rights to be exercised within the limits of her State?
The President of the United States arms to be his
right MS constitutional duty and high obligation pro
ec what he calls the property of the United States within
the limits of South Carolina after secession of South
Carolina from the limits of the United States And it is
true, SIR that he he has constitutional power
coerce the State of South Carolina after she shall secede
while at the time, he denies her exercise of her
legitimate right of secession which she claims: and an.
prehend there will be, Mr. President an attempt to CO.
the State of South Corona in the Of protecting
the property of the United States within the limits of
disposed therefore, at the very threshold of the
movement to contest the accuracy of the logic weigh
well the conclusion which the President of the United
States has arrived at in his consideration of this matter
There never has been day, no, hour, when any
limits of the State of South Carolina whether the claim
be made by individual nation Is it not as sacred
under the Constitution and laws of South Carona-and
as sacred when that right claimed by one of our
citizens? And if there be- asserted property of the
United States within the limits of South Carolina the
property after the secession of the State according to
opinion will be as safe is consistent with the DIGNITY
and honor of the State After the act of secession il will
receive only that protection which it has heretofore re-
ceved mean that protection which has been derived
from the laws Of South Carolina
Mr. President, look it. There is property which,
while We were in the Unon belonged to the Union Of
states As an independent State has protected
the arms Of the United States? When it, sir, that the
United states considered it necessary, within the limits
ofSouth Carolina, to consider property needfu
that maeria protection which disposed to assert

people of South Carolina occupy the eyes of the people
