"believers . Was there ever such a spectacle ! Rightly are you named Protestant , for every sect [ and almost every individual is in a perpetual state of protest . Here is an Established Church unable to understand the signs of the times . She cannot see that she has lost her hold upon the hearts of the people . Her doctrines are not believed , her ritual is not observed , and yet , if a man tries to adapt the teaching of the Church to the wants of the age , he is forthwith denounced as a heretic .

The Opera. Mokdat, The 7th Of Augtist, 1...
THE OPERA . Mokdat , the 7 th of Augtist , 1854 , was a day to be marked with , black in our operatic annals . The noblest singer of her time , endowed with all the g ts of exuberant genius , and with all the spells of imperious beauty , riCLiA Gbisi , sang her lust farewell to an English audience . Never ( lid the dying swan on the banks of the Maeander pour forth diviner music : She did not leave us in the decline of her powers , and in the decay of her charms—not in . the fading twilight of her faoae : this , at least , would have been a bitter consolation ; but in all the rich maturity of her genius and beauty she bids farewell to the scene of so many of her earliest triumphs and most glowing recollectiona , and to a public vrho , for nearly a quarter of a century , have been among the most constant , of her votaries . Let not ,. howewer , the just impatience of our regrets betray us into injustice to one ¦ who for so many seasons has shed warmth and light on the lives of the dullest and hardest of us : even to remember those evenings is a privilege . If tifeiere was one feeling more dominant than another in thafc valedictory audience of Monday night last , it was , Who & all jilt her placet Who shall replace Grisi in all that the nameofGrisi iepreseitts tothe eye and ear of memory ? It was this dearth and absolute poverty of the stag < e that added , perhaps , a more poignant emotion to the paxtisg , as the majestic grace of the Diva , passed , slowly and sadly from the gaze of her worshippers . The perfbrnaanee was worthy of the occasion , Never was Nbrma more august in beauty , m 6 re superb in song : never were Raoul and Valentine more graceful , more passionate , more pathetic , A ^ nd then came the supreme moment when the artist , no longer tue actress but the woman , appeared before the curtain to receive the crowning triumph . Ladies waved their handkerchiefs till they were faint with agitation ; men shouted and cheered till they were hoarse ; the orchestra rose en masse ; the stage was buried in flowers . It was one of those nights when an audience is possessed by a sort of electric sympathy . Three times did Grisi come forward with Mario , aad a fourth time alone ; and when she found herself alone in that tempest of tumultuous emotion , she shed tears—the last and most womanly acknowledgment . The theatre was far from being inconveniently crowded , as had been expected . Many stayed away for fear of the crowd and the fabulous prices
asked by speculators , and the result —at a season when the town is half empty—was a comparatively thin house . But as time is not to bo reckoned by hours , but by sensations , so the character of that audience was not its density , but its enthusiasm . * * * * We shall defer any detailed notice of the production of Rossini ' s delicious opera , Le Comte Ory , till next season , for the simple reason that we have not heard it this week . Why it should haTe been brought out for the two last nights we do not pretend to divine : the directors have not been otherwise punctilious in observing their programme . Le Comle Ory has always been a favourite in Paris , and we see no reason why it should not be a cherished companion to the Barbiere in tho repertory of the Royal Italian Opera . " We hear the ensemble of the present cast highly approved—we know that Madame Bosio vocalises like a fountain , and is always sparkling ( and cold ) as crystal ; Taglfafico cannot be ineffective , and Zelger is at least familiar with the traditions of his part . But we have our doubts about Signer Luches ' u We know he has been a finished light tenor , and enjoys a continental reputation for that Rossinian . singing which the robust and patriotic audiences of Young Italy have been , tau g ht by Verdi to despise . We know that , as the faded beauty observed , a has been is better than a never was . But the audiences of the Royai . Itajuan Opera have a right to the best , and none but the best , voices , and have nothing to do with the remains of tenors . It is a pity that journals of influence should encourage the directors of the opera in palming off these substitutes on an indulgent public . We can but humbly protest . We look with dismay to the prospects of next season , now that Gnsi and Mario have departed . Perhaps the success of the Comte Ory may suggest the natural direction in which success is to be founds—we mean m the return to pure music and to Italian Opera . While we are . on the subject of farewells , we may take the opportunity of giving a b > it of news from Paris by way of compensation to . ¦ ¦ our own losses on this side of the Channel . We hear that Mademoiselle Rachel , who has been living in close retirement at Brussels since the lamented ' death of her sister , has , after many sudden and contradictory changes of mind , resolved to withdraw her resignation as a societaire : of the Theatre Francats , and to continue to sustain the fortunes of that classical stage with renovated powers . She will appear in the gratuitous performance next Tuesday : her definitive rentree will take place in September . We congratulate the . . 'Theatre Francois and the great tragedienne herself on her return to the scene of her many triumphs . We trust she may be furnished with opportunities of new ' creations' in the modern drama . Meanwhile , a new drama by George Sand is said to be under consideration of the reading comuiittee of the Theatke Fkancais . Madame Grisi and Signor Mario sailed on Tuesday last in the * Baltic' for New York . They are announced to appear in the first week of September . All the good wishes of the plcl world attend them . May their success be worthy of America , and their return to Europe crowned with happiness and repose in their own loved Italy I E . P .
