Madlle. Johanna Wagner The Climax Of Mad...
wmind some dramAtid artiBta that poses are a ppor BUbstitute for feeling and m-Scenca We conscientiously avdw that we fail to detect a breath of feeling ot a eleatn of emotion in that Paixas face from the first scene to the last . Only in the last act is there anything approaching an abandonment to the situation , rind even therd the sacred fire is not , and the passion is a careful trick . As tb thesinring , Madlle . Wagner cannot be said to have a voice at all : she has a rough sketch , so to speak , of three voices , all equally harsh , imperfect , ahdunpleasing . Occasionally , it is true , there is a breadth of " phrasing" not without a certain , grandeur ; but delicacy , refinement , finish , are all absent , and every now and then we are shocked and exasperated by sounds that are neither . speech nor song . It is difficult to expect that Madlle . " Wagner will correct these deficiencies she has too high and too assured a reputation m Germany to take lessons any more . Let us hope , at least , that she may improve her visit to Eoridon by hearing Madame Jenny Xind and Madame Viardot ! We hear it said that Madlle . Wagner cannot be feirly judged by those who have not heard and seen her as Valentine in the Huguenots , Ftdesin the Prophete ; and of Her Orfeo we have never heard but one , and that the highest , opinion . Nevertheless , we are too well satisfied that her dramatic reputation in England will not have been increased by her appearance . Omne ignotumpro magnifieo .

The Last Of Jenny Und. Monday, At Exeter...
THE LAST OF JENNY UND . Monday , at Exeter Hall , beheld at once a triumph and a sorrow . Madame Jpimx Gol » schmii > t-IjINjd , who , for nearly ten years , has enchanted , in alternating seasons , the ears and hearts of England—who won and maintained an unparalleled position in the lyric drama , and who , driven thence by ecclesiastical
exhortation * , conquered a new empire on the platform of the concert-room—Jekwtt liiNi > , who has held the East and the West , the Old and the New Worlds , alike , in the strong magic of her gentleness and her genius , and who , shining with , a golden lustre on many charitable homes , has made Music almost synonymous with Benevolence—Jenny XaNJ > , on that day , sang her last in England . The performance was a great ; success . The vast Hall . was crowded with an audience which , considering " the phlegmatic temperament of Englishmen and women , may be said to have been in a fever of excitement ; and the fair singer was lovinglj' compelled to repeat the arduous song" , the " Queen of iNigftt / ' from Vie Zavberflote . The performance was a miscellaneous concert , terminating with , the celebrated *• Echo Song , " after singing' which , Madame Goejdschmxdt made her farewell curtsey , and , in the midst of a tumult of applause , and a general flutter of handkerchiefs , passed away from sight , but not from memory .
The Lachfieud Bank.-—Mr. Commissioner Ba...
The LacHFiEUD Bank .- —Mr . Commissioner Balguy , on Friday week , delivered judgment , in the Birmingham district Court of Bankruptcy , with respect to the affairs of Richard Greene , of the Licfefield Bank . In summing up the facts of the case , his Honour said : — - 'Ot ^ e . bankrupt was in partnership originally with Mr . Scptt ani Mr . I » almer , the whole forming that banking establishment which existed in Lichfieli for some years preyions to 1850 . Mr . Scott was the father-in-law of Sjr . ' Greene , and upon his death Mr . Palmer was the senior and leading partner of the firm , and , being the older many exercised , perhaps , the greater authority in the establishment . In 1860 , Mr . Palmer died , and upon his death Mr . Greene , with , great propriety , overhauled
the accounts of the bank . The result was the discovery that the firm was hopelessly insolvent ; and Mr . Greene , with , that strict regard to truth which , has extended through a lengthened examination , had the candour , to admit that not only was the establishment , J jopeleasly insolvent , but that he had , no expectations of -fieing able to redeem his position during his lifetime . In this con-r dition of affairs , he took the advice of friends , who imprudently recommended him to go on "with the bank . " The result was that Mr . Greene was at length obliged to stop payment , and to go to the Bankruptcy Court . The debts -were about 70 , 000 / . ; but it is anticipated that there are assets sufficient to yield a dividend of ten
shillings la the pound . The Commissioner did not blame the bankrupt for anything except going on with , the bant after discovering its condition in 1850 . " Mr . Greene , " continued his Honour , " said he tried to reduce his expenses , but found he could not do so . I can understand what h . e n ^ eant , as I can easily believe he considered that any materjaj curtailment of his expenses would attract observation , and in . all probability entail ruin upon the bank . I think he ought mot to have been deterred by any consideration of tbat kind . " I see that his expenses for the last five , or six ^ ears amount to something like 17 , 000 / . " The judgment was that the bankrupt should have a second-class certificate , to bo suspended for one year , with protection ;
The WjesT Indies . —The last advices from the West Indies bring scarcely any news of importance . The islands are for the most part healthy , and the crops are doing ' well ; At Jamaica , the Legislature wad not in session , and Mnjor-General Bell had been sworn in to administer the Government during the absence of Governor Darkl y * upon leave for six months . Tranquillity prevailed . Lieutenant Jones , GDth Regiment , stationed at'Trinidad , has committed suicide by stabbing himself . Iatpkovtsmknt of CrtANCEnY-i-ANH . —The building Materials and fittings of nine houses in Chancery-lane , Bell-yard , nnd PopoVhead-nlley , wcro publicly sold on Monday , for the purpose of clearing the site for the bisection of tnd south wing of the hnll of the Law Institution . The removal of these houses will leave but three more to bo pulled down and sot back to widen this thoroughfare from tho corner bf Fleet-Btrcot to the Latr Institution .
