Decline of Italian Onera.

The Saturday ReUieao takes the following
 gloomy view of the condition of Italian opera
 in England, which, with the exception of the
 clause about the most efficient vocalizers on
 the globe applies equally to this country,
 and which may be especially commended to contemporaries
 "The condition of the opera in England has for some time been one of the most curi- ous phenomena of modern society. Pluto craism has obtained almost complete posses sion of the reins, and the result IS a species of entertainment which cannot be called either genuinely artistic, dramatic, or musl- cal. The repertory consists chiefly of dull round of constantly recurring works of that kind in which the shallow fussiness of con- ventional fnales takes the place of genuine dramatic climax and the commonplace pomp- ous display of theatrical pageantry that of genuine dramatic effect in which the chorus singing is abominable the acting uncertain and too often bad, the instrumentation gen. erally poos and quite unworthy of the superb band which is called upon to perform it, and the language one which is sometimes unnatu- ral to the play often superhuous to the sing CT, and always incomprehensible to ninety per cent. of the audience. The set-of against these disadvantages is string of seductive tunes and the singing of the most efficient vocalizers to be found in the circumference of the globe.
 ''For these advantages people continue, not only year after year, but decade after decade, to pay simply preposterous prices. Many do so just because the prices are pre- posterous some because they would not be in complete comfort in the circle of their acquaintances if the source of chit-chat based on a common apparent interest was to fall short and some because it is polite enter tainment, and where the upper ten have gone before the next fifty will gladly follow after. So the forces of habit, Ievity and vanity all conspire to support the rottsnness of this branch of theatrical development, and to suppress any earnest attempt at improve ment. In fact, the deterioration of substance has gone on so long that it is beyond the power of the most astute caterer for public to patch it. The whole raiment has got too old and worn, and the ostensibly new pieces of Iohengrin,' The Flying Dutchman,' Carmen tMefstofele,' n De- monio,' and other less valuable fabrics which are let in, have only tendency to make the whole fly to pieces. Most publics do by degrees get tired of the fruits of their own foolishness and, as this form of edifcation has had 8 very long spell, it seems likely that it's day is not far from ending, and that an entirely new departure will be adopted"

The Deadlock at Albany.

Vhe DehIiOck at AIbhny.
 ALBANY, Jan. 11.-An attempt was made this afternoon to secure a consultation among the Democrats with view to selecting Speaker pro tenn. without reference to the caucus nominations. The effect of this would be to admit of the introduction of bills and resolutions which are now debarred be- cause there is no Speaker to present them to. Every member is overIaden with bills and desires some such relief, but general fear prevails that it will prolong the deadlock and the consultation would not be had. A vague rumor is current that John Kelley has signifed his desire for the Tammany mem bers to be no longer abused with or looked upon as their leader, urging them to vote as they choose, but the rumor cannot be traced to any reliable source.

His construction of the law in his decisions of yesterday this jurist thought, were exactly right and would stand as a use- full precedent. MT.
