MusICaL.-The patrons of the Beethoven Society
have rich programme offered for the concert to-
night, and we doubt not but that the room will be
hIied to overlooking. To particularize any piece
where all is of the best, would be superfuous ana
we refer our readers to the programme to be seen
at the music stores. We have been favored with
copy of a letter written to musical paper nub.
lished in Philadelphia, which has been the suhiect
oil muc1 talk among some of our musical people,
and some notice of it is due to the Beethoven So
clety, against which it is levelled In it every pos
sible fault is found with the Society, its MANAGER
denounced as unpopular, his selections of pro.
gFamme ridieuled as absurd, the performances
characterized as extravagant, &C., &c.
With all due Difference to the learned critic, we
must be permitted to state that his Judgment does
not reflect the opinion of the best informed musical
people OF this city. Mr. Lenschow, who we believe
prepares the programmes, is an experienced leader
OF concerts, both in this country and in Europe
and his selections have been made in accordance
with the usual rules upon the subject. The object
OF the Society is to promote correct musical taste
ana this can only be done by minglng classical
works with others of lighter character, Such is
the course pursued even in European cities, where
music OF high order is better understood and an
precated than here 1t would undoubtedly weary
general audencd 70 pressnt than, frequently with
on Nr'ti"o quartctte,or quintette, and heace
ent movements have been separated, in such man
ner, however, not to violate the rules of taste
"Adetaide," as trombone solo, to which execution
has been taken, has been frequently nerformed
in Europe upon this instrument. and it would be
signaIiy proper to censure Bottesn for giving Us
soprano aria on the contrabasso. If report speaks
hn writ Yft lo,,
Mr. Lenschow for large part of his musical cdu-
cation, and respect for his preeeptor should have
made him more modest in the expression of his
views.

SmaIey decided that the distracted Indian Trust

GERMAN RArIoNALISM IN FRANcE.-A recent let
ter from France says:
There are pastors in our country who reject all
the primary doctrines of Christianity-the doctrine
OF the Trinity, the doctrine of redemption, and the
doctrine of the divinity of Christ The theories of
Strauss, of Baur, and of the school of Tubingen,
yanquished in Germany by the evangelical theolo-
gy, have found faithful disciples in the old degene
rate Huguenot church Some young French doc
tors, eager for novelty, and believing themselves as
strong as they are daring, have venured to attack
the very truths for which their ancestors mounted
the seahold. The cause of rationaism has gained
some able pens that have defended it vigorously.
IN hxing itself upon our soil the old German "a
tlonalIsm has been fully aware that in order to
thrive among US it would be necessary to take ont
letters OF naturalization. Like the Young son of
Jesse, 1t has rejected the heavy armor that thew
nav nave wished to impose upon it. The indig
Herman folios have not succeeded in passing the
frontiers of the Rhine. Metamorphosed into pam
phlets, and newspaper and review articles, agree
ably viyacious and sparkling with wit, they seek
to accomplish their work of destruction Messrs.
Coquerel, father and son, Scherer ReviIle, and
Pecant are the chiefs of this army Of destroyers in
the bosom of Protestanism. In the purely literary
world they are seconded by one of the most learned
orlentasts IN our country and distng uished minds
of the age, NJ. Ernest Keenan, the poe teal transla
tor OF Job and the Song of Solomon"

ATTEMPT TO AssAssTNATE A MEMBER OF CoSGREss
Last night desperate attempt was made to as
sassinate Hon. c. II. Van Wyck, of New York, as
he was going from the room of Senator King, on
Capitol Hill, to the National Mr.. Van Wyck left
Senator Kings about ii o'clock, and while passing
down the north side of the Capitol grounds he was
attacked by three men, one of whom struck him
upon the left side with large dirk knife The
blade of the knife cut hole in his overcoat about
~ inches long, and was driven through folded
copy OF the Congressional Globe, and almost
through large leathern-covered memorandum
book. Mr.. Van Wyck knocked his assailant down,
when another man approached him with akrife,
and in warding off the blow MIR. Van Wyck re-
ceived severe cut upon the hand. This man was
a also angeked down and having by this time got
first attacked him. He was then struck senseless
by slung-shot in the hands of the third person,
and when he had recovered the parties were not to
be seen. Mr.Van Wyck reached his room abont 70
o'clock, and is now under the medical care of DR..
Lee. Had it not been for the paper and memoran.
dunn book, Mr.. Van Wyck would have been in
stantly killed. He is now improving, and il is
hoped, will soon recover Wash. Star of Satur.
