      Tunity To Attend; For The Englishman Is ...

      bade good night , and went ; and I came up to my own room , to report to you this my first experience in the political life of England . Abnegation and false seeming still , as far as I can see , crush the vitality * the great nation , not less in its public affairs than its home . But there hfe struggling underneath , and at times seen , either in the heaving of % ce , or in the rending of it—a life compressed , but strong and real . " discern it .

      green , I will soothe your weariness , and wake up your languid snir _' f \\ new sensation . . . _^ b _J a But before I call it a new sensation , answer me , Did you ever ' j with Styrian peasants —( thick-ankled maidens , of incorruntiblA _^ temptable virtue !) to the sound of the zither P Do you know wh _W * zither isP You do not . It is of the guitar genus , but infinit elv _™ musical . It is about two feet long , and possesses a distinct baL j treble . The thirty-one strings are silver spun and gut , in the ba < _TP the treble there are three wire strings on which the player strikes If a small plectrum worn as a ring on the thumb . This at least i _^ tl perfect instrument , the Viennese and civilized form of the zither--that of the one played on by the aforesaid unattemptables . Buff * * my meagre description you can form no idea of the " ravishing divisio ° _^ with which Herr Schnitzer plays on it . b l 0 n We were at supper the other night , supping as only people of esnr ' t can sup , when one of the newly arrived guests proposed that he should drag a friend of his out of bed , and bring him with his music into ou sparkling circle . Said—done ! Before an ordinary man could hav yawned away his surprise , Herr Schnitzer appeared ; and placing hisquep little zither on the table kept us spell-bound for hours— 4 r

      His volant touch Instinct through all proportions , low and high , Fled and pursued transverse the resonant fugue . ( Milton Boys fugue , but for fugue in this case read melody . ) And quickly his pup il joined him , and we had duos to witch the heart away ! The questionings were endless ; the desires to learn this _instrument and witch away the coy reluctant . hearts of maidens , not of the Styrian type , were loudly expressed . There was something so tremblingly plaintive in its tones that we all felt such an instrument cunningly t . _lavpd during tne soft twilignt Hours , must subdue tbe naughtiest of beauties and as we were all intense bachelors , ( with the most steadfast intention of remaining so ) you may imagine how eager we were to get Herr Schnitzer ' s address . ( In confidence I give it you . It is Thomas ' s Hotel , Jermyn Street . ) Thus furnished we now know where the secret of Orpheus may be learned , and our exultant cry is , " Beauties beware !" But even to the mope sedate reader , happily not haunted with visions of unsubduable Beauty , this bit of information may not be without its value ; for I assure him in all seriousness , if he desire to have a new musical delight , let him engage Herr Schnitzer to and he will probably not be content with hearing , the instrument himself . play in a soiree intime , but will desire to learn Vivian .

      THE LAST NIGHT AT COVENT GARDEN . Let me say one word about the last night of the Huguenots and of the ison at Covent Garden . Vivian has told you that Mario was in rious voice . Yes ! It seemed as though he were resolved to assert upremacy at parting , and to be the despair of all succeeding Paouls . id already convinced the most obdurate cavillers that neither _Meyer-* or the snows of Russia had yet worn out the manly and volupmderness of the loveliest of voices ; though the fatigue of Grand ay perhaps have lent a certain coy reserve and dainty delicacy And his acting—ever more intense and more elaborated ! med a little out of voice and spirits , though still la Diva ; but , we had Anna Zerr , who , at an hour or two ' s notice , took the Queen , and gave to Marguerite a prominence unsuspected had only known Madame Castellan ' s sweet but insipid character . _Madlle . Anna Zerr , by the animation and _rcting , and the brilliancy of her singing , not only mdulgence which was officially asked for her , but of her own , and divided the honours with Mario , who le scared at tl _^ . unusual torrent of German gutturals . turals became a shower of pearls as they fell from . the bye , the four horses appeared as usual in tho ot observe that they excited tho indignation of the night of Pietro , and yet Meyerbeer surely did _" we might understand why certain critics aut they denounce in Pietro . But then Meyernever wrote good dance _music—witness the * alincurs . _r . r . ch _it-iioant .
