Citizen Protest Against the Pacific Slave Trade.
TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD.

MELBOURNE, Dec. H. 1872.
puDnc meetin was held in this city yesterday
evening Tor the purpose or protesting against the
coolie tramc and the disguised slave trade which
prevails on the coast.
HOME AID TO THE COLONIAL EFFORT
The antp0dal colonial effort which is being made
in this eminently Christian direction enjoys the
support Of very large and influential party inside
OF Parliament and out In Great Britain Sir Charles
Wingheld, member for Gravesend, advocates it
strenuously and writes thus in support OF the
movement :-T have little hope OF any good from
the act OF last session, and i believe that
to put stop to the horrors OF this
traf1ic one OF two measures must be
adopted-either to prohibit it altogether to the
Fills, and treat it as piracy, or else to annex the
Fills, when II can be brought under regulation,
as has been done In respect TO the trade to Queens
land The government appear determined to put
down the East African slave trade; but contend
that they uuder equal obligation to deal efec-
tually with this Pacific slave trade; and the task is
far easier one as the parties engaged in 1t are
nearly all British subjects"

SECOND PHILHARMONIC CONCERT.

The programme OF the Philharmonic Concert at
the Academy last evening was interesting in many
OF its particulars and quite otherwise in few.
The works performed were as follows:-
phony No. A. in minor new, RAM /, allegro g.
andante, 8, scherzo, 4, finale; Spirit Song Haydn,
Mile. Anna Drasd; concerto, for the violin, op. 81
first movement), Beethoven, with orchestral ac-
compartment, Herr Benno Walter; Liebes Scene,
Berlioz, from symphony "Romeo and Juliet";
song, (a) prayer, Hitler; song D, ballad, .son OF
the Ocean Isle" Pinsott with piano accompani-
ment, Mile. Anna Drasdn; overture. "Consecra-
tion OF the House, in major, Beethoven.
Raff's symphony does not improve upon ac-
quaintance. The composer leads one, wilrothe-
wisp fashion, through labyrinth or rather
marsh OF passages to which there seems
to be no outlet. The scherzo and finale are
utterly without aim or purport, the one
being sort Of strathspey and the other stum-
bling movement OF unwarrantable rythm and still
more Objectionable subjects. Altogether, Mr. Ran
has by no means earned anything but an unen-
viable reputation in this work. The love scene
from "RomeO and Juliet' was an idyl of beauty,
both in the charm OF its Instrumentation and the
tenderness displayed in the treatment The rest
less dissatisfied spirit olthe composer is eminently
displayed here He sketches q scene with effect
but he leaves the impression that In his mind at
least, the sketch Is unfinished. He pours forth
idea after idea but each to be only the germ
Of something greater. Few composers are liable to
the fault OF actually accomplishing too mnch. Ber-
lioz goes beyond the excellent ideas he advances,
Beethoven's overture was superbIy played, and in
deed the orchestra was unusually effective on this
occasion.
The contralto, Mile. Drasdil, Showed that the
society have at last decided upon engaging first
class vocal talent for their concerts. Mile.
Drasdil has a p6re, well cultivated, sym.
pathetic and telling voice that won its
way at once to the heart OF the public. She
forgot at first the size Of the Academy and the vol
ume OF voice requisite to ill 1t. There was in the
three selections certain reserve OF vocal power
that detracted from the effect. But enough was
heard to prove that Mile. Drasdil Ii the best
tralto that has been heard upon the Academy
boards for many years. Her school Is perfect, and
her voice, excepting the lack OF power or reserve
shown last evening, is sympathetic and even In all
Its registers.
Mr.. Walter Is q careful. finished executant the
performance OF the extremely dflcult cadenza at
the end Of the first movement OF the concerto being
suflcient to demonstrate that fact. He has clear,
wel-denned execution, but his tone Is small and
devoid or that magnetism that we look for In great
artists. At times 1t 10 scratchy, particularly when
in arpeggi0 passages he touches the string Yet
he is very young, and has already developed great
qualities, which may In time ripen into q Wienl-
awski or vieuxtemps. Schumann, Liszt and
weber will be represented at the next concert.
