      Our Difficulties . —You must not suppose that you gentlemen in America are the only people who have great difficulties to contend with . With us there is want of space , and perhaps , too , want of knowledge how to use what space we have . We are crippled by laws and practices in reference to law , which I fondly trust are not equalled in absurdity , not only in any part of this planet , but in any other planet that circles round the sun : the history of many a great law Case is a thing which , if really well written , would convulse the world with tears and laughter . In many of our ways and habits we are so constrained by the most thoughtless conformity with the past , that the nation is like a tall boy of poor parents who is painfully tight in his clothes . Then , in any great question submitted to the public here , religion , or rather religious rancour , springs up like the vines which , at the will of Bacchus , rose suddenly from the earth and entangled the feet of . some poor mythical person—whose name I now forgot , hut you , as being later from a University , will know all about him . Again , we , as well as you , have constitutional difficulties to contend with . Before anything wise or good can be done , innumerable people have to b e persuaded , or outvoted , or tired out . All the possible folly that can be said on any subject has to he answered and borne with and exhausted . The chad" has to bo winnowed away many times before the grain can be got at at all . One conclusion from all this in niy mind is , that , as moro power of all kinds iy allowed to the individual in modern constitutions ( as for instance he has more power of obstruction ) , more is demanded from him in the way of individual thought » iul exertion for the public good . —Fraser ' s Magazine . —• August . Kino Loo . —I am sure that many a man must have fi : lt , as I confer I have , struck down to the earth for t'ho moment by a vast and indefinite despair at seeing how little is done , compared with what might bo done , in the great sanitary reforms that are needed in this country , , indeed , in most countries ; and then , on the other hand , to boo the noble way in which smoke , hlth , putridity , and miasma stand their ground against the convinced , but not j udiciously united , intelligence oi mankind . Governments succeed each other , displaying various degrees of apparently resolute incompetency on some of the most important matters , and "" eh as aye clearly within their functions—and within theirs only . You almost Boom to think that it is tho buninoss of men in office to hinder ; but , poor fellows , that would bo a very hard construction to put upon their conduct . As tho present Lord Grey onco ob"wveri , when you find a number of people , ono af ter «• " « other , running into tho sumo error , you must look asido from tho nionto tho peculiar circumstances which they havo a \\ ] m ( j to oini ) ttmuJS thorn . A difficult mill to grind with is a popular rissojttMhgG—u popular

      aasemblage , too , open to the press , and with a pretty nearly unlimited power of talking . Moreover , the total indifference shown in both our nations to the adoption of any methods of securing a supply of intelligent men to direct our affairs , greatly puts it out of our power to blame with justice those statesmen we have , who are obtained in such a hap-hazard fashion . — Fraser's Magazine . —August .

      A WORD OR TWO ABOUT JULLIEN AND " PIETRO IL GRANDE . " All the world of music is on tip-toe of expectation to hear JPietro il Grande , announced for Tuesday next at the JJoyal Italian Opera . The performance oi * Jullien ' s first opera may fairly be said to create a more lively sensation than any musical event for many years . The immense popularity , the somewhat eccentric , but very high reputation of the composer , the obstinate belief of the many that a man who has succeeded so eminently in one style cannot possibly be capable of any other , and the belief of the few , that a man who has possessed the ear of the multitude so unfailingly , andI who hag so mastered tjtie elements of success , as to popularize the highest art equally with the most trivial , not to speak of the brilliant orchestras he has been in the habit of conducting , the undoubted influence he has exercised on the musical taste of this country , the rare merit of his dance music , and the feeling , originality , and substance of his vocal compositions , ( published under other names)—will probably succeed in higher flights whenever he shall make the ascent— -all these considerations have roused quite a buzz of controversy about Jullien and his forthcoming great work . Meanwhile the rehearsals have proceeded

      unremittingly , and it is something to hear that all the artists engaged in the work , principals and chorus , are thoroughly delighted with tKeir parts : and as enthusiastic in learning , as Jullien can be in teaching . Tamberlik has been reserving himself for some weeks for the great role of Peter , written , as if to measure , for the display of the best qualities of his splendid voice , and sympathetic style . A great deal of fun has been expended beforehand on the reported colossal scenic effects in preparation . An entire regiment of cavalry , says one musical g entleman , not a composer ; a " park of artillery , " says another , not an amateur . Now all who know Jullien will be ready to believe that he will not altogether forego his propensity to startling effects , especially on a subject which lends itself to scenic display : but we may be quite sure that his ambition , being all musical , will have taught him to make the music the chief effect , all the rest , however superb , being subordinate . But that the mise en scene will be something extraordinary , even at Covent Garden , is a rumour very credible . We have heard that in the scene representing the battle of Pultowa , there will be three military bands on the stage . A ball-room scene will enable Jullien to " come out" where he has scarcely a rival j and a Russian danseuse of great name at St . Petersburg is specially engaged to dance the Pcm Caracteristiques in the Mazurkas , Polonaises , &e . But we say again that , however Jullien ' s love and mastery of massive effects may be indulged , the ambition of the composer will predominate . Jullien's position is very singular and very difficult . He has no such rival to encounter ( though no doubt he has found no lack of the jealousies and cabals that attend on genius !) as his own previous reputation . If there be too much melody in his opera , too much tune , big-wigs , great and small , will call it " dance music . " If there be too little " tune" and too much science , he will be voted by the million who know and worship him , a disappointment and a bore , and be politelyrequested to return to his quadrilles . Surely a man who conducted in " Paris when a mere boy , and who before the prime of life has achieved already that popularity which Victor Hugo so finely calls— "La gloire en gros sous" has plenty of time before him to carve out a path to the more difficult heights of a more lasting and more noble fame—the fame which is represented by the guineas of the Opera , and , what is far better , by the quiet admiration of men whose praise is that of a contemporary posterity . Tuesday night will be a severe ordeal for Jullien . I have said so much from the very sincere faith I have in his success . May he " strike the stars with his sublime head , " and may I be there to see and to hear . I , i Chat-Huant .
