It now appears at no time between Beecher, Ti\i c Jipulton. and Mrs. Tilton, was any other crime mentioned than the one. The injury of having advised a separa tion Betuis never to have been discussed at all; and toe suggestion that tho offense was an im proper oveuuia to Mrs. Tilton was a simple invention to satisfy the curiosity of other pa-ties, and by diverting attention enable the parties the better to preserve tbe secret of the great and only eff use. HOW MOULTON BECAME THE ABKITEATOB. In explaining how he became the mediator between Beecher and Tilton, Mr. Moulton say ■■ that Mr. Tiltcu had been wearing a kind of woeful, wretched face ior some lime. The nigtit I drew Beecher to was the night he told me his trouble. My heart at once jumped to these poor cbildreu, myself betng deprive.’, tf as much family as I have desired; and 1 struck right out on a lino of policy natural, as it sei nu-d to ine to be, to rebuild and compel harmony.

Mr. Townsend eon tir.ues: ‘•Moulton burst out, savin? Mr. Beecher hadnowplayel false with him by renewing a. correspondence with Tilton’s wife. Moni ton handed tbo letters over to me, as in a ges ture, impetuously. I read them without know ing what pirt of this drama they belonged to, and telegraphed thorn to Chicago. No won der Be clrer’s lawyers are looking anxiously for those letters and I pr-sume that at this stage of the game Tilton’s conned has them. The Beecher letters are written in that vi u of unearthly sentiment which permits the good man’s idolators to say, ‘Ob, nothing in this; quite pastoral and seraphic;’ but they are un signed, if not undated, and bear the stamp of a secret, ad the suggestion of a passion tol erable only in a loose celestial existence. BEECH Elt’s I'EAK 01’ HtS BISTER.. In answer to the question whether Mr. Beecher feared his sister, Mrs. Hooker, Air. Moulton said: “He did. She was no crazy woman, but a bolder Beecher than he, with equal appetite for tire world. I will tell you something that will show the selfish depths of Beecher’s character. His sister was worked up on the idea of the falsehood as such a life as her brother’s; and has resolutely resolved to invade his pulpit and make him show his hand. Tilton an.l inyseli were equally afraid for Tilton’s family’s sake. So Sir. Tilton went one night to the house of Mrs. Phelps, in Twenty-Third street, and questioned Mrs. Hooker as to her intentions in this respect. She declared that she would bring Henry to the pillory on bis own pulpit. ‘Xhvn,’ said Mr. Tilton, ‘I shall make an equally authen ticated charge against you, Sirs. Hooker,’ aud he named the connection. This stopped Mrs. H. s mouth. When Henry, w. u..,.<h nx Had heard that Tiltion had done this, he applau ded his decision and success. It struck me with horror that a clergyman could be wil ling to have his own sister charg'd with adul tery in order to cover bis personal ihame. BEECHEfI’s COWAIiDLT DEFENSE. “Observe again (said Mr. Moulton) how Mr. Batcher is running the intellect of Mrs. Tilton into contemot—the same woman whom be calls in his spiritual love letter ‘a saint.’ ‘beloved of God,’ ‘a comfort to the mind and ‘he soul.’ Nothing will stand between him and the miserable life he must hereafter lead of self-enjoyment on the faith and weakness of Plymouth church. Elizabeth has made every struggle to suve him, consistent with his own character. He is a viper on the hearth, ild wants his neighbor’s field and his neigh bor’s lamb.” mrs. Beecher’s advice to beecher. Mr. Townsend—Mr. Moulton, your own wife had sympathy with Mr. Beecher. “She did.’Vsaid Moulton. the story oi adultery Jroiit Mrs. Tilton. It was the talk amongst us al. At my request, out of the tolerance of her nature, she kept the silence of the funeral bier. Mr. Beecher speaks of her as reviving his faith in woman’s nature. She saw him tu these half genuine bursts of remorse, and she advised him to go like a man of sorrow and confess. She said ‘Vonr better life will th n come out. You will be more useful, if more humble. Pre- Vrve your reality. Perform the truth; then uotovjng can harm you.* Once or twice he though he would do so; but he was too we*k. If he haA‘ he agony of the terror would have been over Hjng ago. lie not only could not be the man, hat I believe ho renewed the cur ie. pondeuce.” Mt urton'h advice to belcher.

The report then goes on to review Tilton's allegations of personal chastity and claim of high moral character, with the evidence oi other persons as to his alleged corrupt prac tices and criminally immoral conduct, nota bly in the case of the girl known as Bessie Tamer, whose evidence is given to show that Tilton states hims. !f to be what he is not. Therefrom is deducted a charge of perjury, l showing that Tilton states u::.{ v ouh in one iiisrance w hat is flatly contradicted in another, the committee giving, as a conclusion to this particular branch of the subject, the rule in law that the entire testimony of any one shown to have committed peiju. y is worthless. MiiS. TILTON H STATEMENT. The report then goi.s on to review’ the !.:•.> timony of several unimportant witnesses, among them Mrs. Stanton, coming at length to the cross-examination of Mrs. Tilton her self, givmg her accusation of br gy against her hu-bmd, and of irdi JHity, and still fur ther showing distinct contradictions cf Tilton’s accusa’ious. Mrs. Tilton’s evidence is quoted, to give her denial of having ever had criminal rela tions with her pastor and her own explana tions of several of the most prominent por tions of her letters. mr. moulton's short statement. From this, the report proceeds to the short statement of Frank Moulton, as given to the committee, and dismissed it briefly, as hav ing made no charges whatever against anybody. mb. beecher’s statement. Finally, the Beecher statement itself is taken and contrasted with several of the more seri ous portions of Tilton’s, showing that circum stances in themselves apparently damaging were in reality easily capable of explanation, the conclusion of the committee. After this review, giving in detail the more prominent episodes of the entire controversy, the report sums up the whole matter pro and con, showing on the one hand a man stand ing before all the world with a great reputa tion for spatless purity, Christian char acter, and moral ‘woitk-, on otL-r a uaan of proven bad and criminal character, the latter making accusations against the former. The one with nothing to prove his story ex cept personal allegations proven in part to be pet jury and supported by some letters which may mean a dozen things but the one mean ing given to them. This story denied by all having any connection with the matter, but one with the circumatances as well as the burden of proof all on one side; the other un supported by anything but bad character. THE VERDICT. The commit'ee finds Henry Ward Beecher is not guilty of the charges preferred against him. It is impossible that a short paragraph may be added to the report, noticing briefly the failure of Frank Moulton to bring any new evidence to bear upon the subject which can in the the sliglites degree alter the conclusiors which the committee have come to.

What ! picture oi Venice wo.ld be complete without j a goudolia or a lover languidly tbrummiughis j guitar by the light of the moon? Or who woald venture to describe anything iu Milan without throwing iu auaiiusionto the Soils. OPEIIA AND CHtiaCH MUSIC. It is no wonder, therefore, that the Amer ican traveller who loves music shoaid expect to find in Italy the realization of all his dreams. He goes prepared to have his soul ravished with music iu the church, at tho the atre, and on the street corners. But alas for his fond anticipations! After he has tra versed all Italy, with disappointment gradual ly ripening juto disgust, he must sit down here in Milan, the operatic centre of the world, and lament the hollow reality. The same time similarly spent in America would have yielded more satisfactory results. In the large cities—Rome, Naples, Florence anl Ve nice—opera is gsaerslly well produced but one raiely''hears a great singer. Milan, for special reasons, is sometimes an exception, hut even here i’atti, or Nilsson or Lucca arc never heard. If an impressario can secure a a good tenor that wilt draw, he is content to entrust the leading soprano part to some nameless EnglUh or {American yirl who will ! sing for nothing, and possibly ev, n pay some thing for the privilege. Toe chorus is gener ally excellent, but the orchestra, except m the largest theatres, rarely so. Then there is the noble music O'. rTkrv'h. According to the tradition awl books, it should “resound through the lofty arches of tbo cu i thedre.l in iru-jcsMC waves of harmouy.” It ] should lilt the soul of the devout worshipper I away from earthly things into celestial enjoy- I ment,” and all that; but how sentiment is | crushed by the commonplace reality! The ! church has taken that short but fatal step j which separates tho sublime from the ridicu lous. I attended high mass at St. Peter’s on | - V VN.A. WAA . the solemn occasion. There were probably v lO.OhO people in the vast basilica—an audience Vwurthy ot lotno giviit muUb. But th" sacred j service must not be denied by the singing of a woman,/lest the dignity of the church or the sancuy of the priests may suffer, and even | the shrill voices ot boys are only employed on j occasional choruses. The mass begins, the i grand organ pours out a prelude, find a close- I Jy-sbaven monk in the gallery , lifts his voic.f Shades of St. how tbe ! romance of music fades away beiorethat so ( j It is neither tbe voice of a man, nor a worn tin | it is a poor eunuch’s attempt to imitate the latter. To an V. m cur it has a strangely I familiar sound. 11 is the same burlesque i falsetto, that f> ins a feature of nearly every j burnt cork entertainment at home. The lull I choruses iu some part atone for these excra ; b!c solos, of which there were not less than t seven, but even better chorus ’s can be heard / any Sunday morning ia the Cathedral in Cin ! cinnati. Perhaps these remarks ought to be I qualified in favor of the organ music, which jia almost invariably excellent. The great Ca thedrals of Italy contain noble organs, and employ the best of talent to play them. To be sure the organists are not always rigid in their choice of music, as the operas and even Strauss’ polkas are made to contribute is the spiritual elevation of tho worshipers; but if their taste can be criticised, their execution j is certainly good. The only other class of music worthy of mention is that of the military bands. They play excellently, and are heard regularly in public, but they throw away altogether too much talent on the trivial compositions of the band-master. AMERICAN PUPILS IN ITALY, But all ol this is only preliminary to a sub ject which needs a little ventilation in Amer ica. There are now bore in Milan about 200 Americans, mostly girls, culiivating their voices for opera or concert singing, and for ev ery onelwho is hers there are probably twenty more at home looking with longing eyes to ward Italy, and expecting, with more or less | definiteness of purpose, to como. While ! Milan ia unquestionably tho best place ia the | world for the cultivation of the voice, yet I I am confident that a great many mistakes are | made by aspiring young singers in coming here from America, and I shall present a | few facts which I trust will tend to de- I crease this growing fevdr for emigration to j Milan. I have taken pains to asccrtaiu the i truth about ti.e matter, and what I saw will bo confirmed by the young ladies who are now hero from Cincinnati. One of them, who is welV-known at home, and has been here nearly two’yearß, acknowledged to me that if she could have locked the course all over as it is, tO-dj wnl4i‘.i.- found h e r in Cincinnati. Iu America the facts are not presOuta: . thiir true light, ana when the trnth is learned mo indomitable will and courage of the American fkirl carry her through what she, at first, never would have thought of undertaking. HIGH EXPENSEB AND THE RESULT. In tho first place, then, the cost of firing there proves to be generally nearly double what the student had calculated upon. Sim ple board and lodging cannot be secured at any respectable place for not less than 150 francs a month, and from that the prices run to nearly double. Washing and other unnec essar expenses are nearly as high as in Ameri ca. Clothing, of course, is somewhat cheap er, bnt fuel and light make up the difference, so that a stranger can live in moderate style about as cheap in Boston to-day as in Milan. Then to these living expenses are to be added the coast of lessons, attendance at operas, carriages, etc., all of which are necessary items in a pupil’s expenditure. Next there is the teacher for the voice, who oharges six to fifteen frances a lesson, according to his rep utation. Then comes a teachor of Italian, whose price is from three to five frances more, and after him, in tho order of time, a stage in structor, whose price is generally betwe u the two named. Thus the pupil is compel led to pay from eight to thirty francs a week lor private instruction. And all of these things together and (he result is about a hundred dollars a mouth. This may seem like placing it high, but I am assured that where one spcuds less than his amount, two spend moro. The young lady before re vived to cume expecting to spend from fi o sixty dollars a month, but bus in roa pent from ninety-five to a hundred regu ly. Tais unexpected increase in expense (of course I am speaking of a limited purse) caus es discourag-ment from the start, shortens the time allotted for study, and in sums cises re sults far more serious still. Young girls coma hero with only a few hundred dollars, it will carry th.-rn through a considerable course.— Soon they find them; fives in a strange lan 1. without money and without friends. I’ride prevents them from returning hums in dis grace, aud they go—nobody knows where— perhaps to follow the vice and misiortuneu of some obscure opera troupe. - EEQCUtEt.IESTS ran ,1V ARTIST. Another thing which is quite generally un derestimated is the time required to turn out a first-class artist, even with the bast of voices. Most of tho young ladies e nne hers with tho delusion that if they have taken a few terms of lessons at home, a year ought to suffice to take them to the highest summit of perfec tion. It the teacher is, fortunately something more than a flatterer, they will soon flat! out [ that two, three, au l even five years of earnest | toil, cm only see them well * started on the road. It is sail, but never uul .st truo, that 1 most of tho young ladies here ha ve the most xtraordinary opinion of their own taloats; a lading for which they are not ns much respon sible as their flatterers ! They are Very ambi tious, and it would be hard to find one who does not aim at the topmost height of artistic fame. Soma even believe that they are P.ufis and Nilssons already; only without a record. One young lady (not from Cincinnati) aetu illy boast-:d tome tjt she coull execute foits with hit voice \vh*ch uo artist living date un dtrtake. I heard her sin ? and thought she could. It is tho overestimating of acquire ments already made, and underestimating tho ie still lacking, that accounts for the ,a miliar fact th.it nineteenth-twentieth? of all those aspiring artists ar • nev.r heard outside of their owa 1 'cal circle.

Through these ton? and hot summer days, when everybody else ha? gone to S.v; Zsiluil of the lakes, tfiiess girls are to be heard in almost every street, run ning the scales or wrestling with a high C. Their ambition is ualimuad, but their strength must often fail. Many a harp has had to be hnug upon the wiljow became the feeble body has refused to do all tho will de manded of it. is it wosra this cost? The material and conditions, then, necessary for a great arti.t are something astonishing. First, she must have an extraordinary voice. Then she must have years for its cultivation, and au abundance of means to defray the ex penses. Next, she must possess charm? of person and manner, and have more than common dramatic talent; while a strong pbysi cal c >n r ribnlion is necessary from first to last. Very rarely is it that all three conditions are found to be present in one person. When they are. her feme and fortune as an artist are made. But when someone of them is want ing, is is tho difficult work of a life time to achieve great success. Pew of the youoa ladies who set out for/an operatic ** "° 1 ' rea lize (these things n*a moy hive proved them <aoir own experience, Then t me flower of their life is goues their best opportunities wasted, aud all is finally disappointment. Far better would is have been it the young woman could have aimed lower, cultivated her voice a? best she could at home, earned a fair salary in some church choir, and married a good honest m vu. It is placing a life of alternate disappointment and brilliant success, but always clouded by anxiety and vulgar associations, beside one ot contentment and comparative obscurity. The former, with its shining attractions, draws hundreds of followers every year, most of whom, sooner or later, find that what glitters so like gold ia only tiue(ol. All of these things, a*nd a great many more, should be carefully weighed by every American girl iu moderate circumstances who contem plates a course in Milan. For the rich it is quite a different matter. They can enjoy such privileges as they would any other luxury. But it is remarkable that nearly all the Amor- ieau girls now here are of limited means, an! s ime of them are sustained only by the self denial of their ovsr-contideiit parents. THE INSTRUCTORS AND THEIR PRICES. Tho following list of the principal teachers here, with their prices, may prove of vaiua to same intending to study in Milan: Maestro Lamperti 13 francs. Mazucato 10 “ “ Facei 10 “ “ San G-ovanni 8 “ “ Montebone 8 “ “ Tryvnlsi 8 “ Perini 6 “ “ Leoni 6 r ‘ “ Bassile 6 “ Those are the prices during the present sea son, as nearly as I could ascertain, but they vary somewhat with the popularity of the teacher. The length of the lesson is generally from half an hour to au hour, though the pu pils of Lamberti, rarely get more than fifteen minutes each. Of course thera are many oth er professional vocalists, but these named are the ones who stand highest, lamberti is seventy-two years of age, and has just mar ried a young German girl of twenty-two. She was on iof his pupils. Tryvnlsi, who was the teacher of Lamperti, and is one of the very best instructors, is 74 years old, and never leaves his bed. He employs au accompanist and gives his instructions as he lies on his back. San Giovanni ia one of the most popu lar teachers with the American pupils, and now has under his charge two or three young ladies from Cincinnati. The conversatory, which was once the pride of Milan, and the foundation of her musical leputatioa, is still maiutained, but only as a place for elementary instruction. I am not aware that any American students are attend ing it. THE CINCINNATI DELEGATION. PcrhaDß I ought to say a word concerning tho representation now here, from Cincinnati. It consists of Miss Laura Woolwino, Miss Josie Jones, Miss Anna Hill, Miss Julia Gould and another young lady whose home is iu New port. Besides these another delegation is ex pected here soon,.under the charge of Signor Alfisi. Those who knew the ladies mentioned at homo need not be told that they do credit to themselves and to Cincinnati. Miss Wool wine has been here twenty months, studying without intermission, last winter she had a highly successful career in o„., ~f tj,,, large inland towns near Milan, and now has flattering offers for fnture engagements, She will, however, study under Tryvnlsi another year. Miss Jones has been here a few months longer, and is considered one oi tho most promising mezzosopranos here. She has made her debnt and sung in the Scala— an achievement Whi.h not many oau brag of. Miss Gould first appeared in publio June 28, on the oocaßion of a oonoert given by the So ciety of the garden. She was well received, and her sucoess was haudsomely acknowledged by the Society. /The other young ladies men tioned are also meeting with good sucoess in their studios, but have not yet sung iu publio. There are afew young men here from Ameri ca slinging their “seas” and “las," and expec ting to compete with the Italian tenors—a task in which they will find some difficulty and not very much sympathy from the general publio. Italians, who are too lazy to do any thing else, have monopolized this branch of the art, and it would be heartless in any able bodied man to curtail their field. Squire Thurman and his wife of Washing ton, Mo., were temporarily absent, having left tho children to keep house, when by some means the youngest, a child of two years, fell into a cistern seventeen feet deep with on ly a foot or so of water iu it. Strange to say, tho youngster was not huit nor much alarmed for when l to older ones, a boy and a girl of' nine and ten years, threw down a ch.-ck line with a noose to it, the little one slipped it over its head and under its arms and wa3 hauled out safe and sound.

Houston wis afraid of him, and in order to secure his own re-election to Congress in c. sa Carroll heat him for Governor, bogan to strengthen himself politically, and in ordes to carry out this scheme married, in Jannarjy 1823, ala iy belonging to a very infl aenti4 family in Gallatin, thirty mites north ofNaih ville. She was a vary hinisoms, brilliant young laiy, aul attracted attention where ever see went, which exasperated who was of a morose, jealous disposition. L used to see him frequently, and knew that he had married purely through poUtioal reason*-, and soon saw that his domestic lifa was an unhappy one. One Saturday iu April I met him at a big baKaa<3 just west, of the city, where he ail Carroll both made sp esches. I saw that ths feeling of that crowd was all ia his favor ail told him so, which caused 'dmto be in tbe vary best of spirits, aui while ia that iu i> l we separated. Monday morning p c tiled at the Nashville inn, where ha and his wife hid j been boarding since their m trriago, but was refused admittance to his room. I persis ed, however, and was finilly admitted b 7 Dr. Shelby. I :ouod Houston lying oa tbe bit with his faca covered up, an 1 in ausw ir to my astonished inquiries, D.-. Shslby told me that M r.s. H melon's father had come d> n from Gallatin for her the day before, and (that she had left her husband and returned o the home of her childhood. Said I, ‘General, what is this I hear?’ Said he, Tm a ruined mau; I’m a ruined aian.’ I told him he owed it to his friends to give some explination of his conduct, and asxe l him why he and his wife had separated, to which ha replied that ha hadn't a word to say agaiast his wife—that she was a high-min jLd, virtuous lady. He then Hid that he alone was to blaxer that he had decided to ex le himself anong the Cherokee luluns, and that he wanted me to carry his resignation as Governor to toe Secretary of State. This I emphatically re fused to do at first, but at his earnest solici tation and that of D:. Shelby, I finally coi sented. The next morning Houston, Shelby ail I went aboard a steamboat, Houston being l'i cguisod so that no one recognized him.’ rt r e bade him good-by, and he went down the Oti'n’oeriand. He told me afterwards that ha ■ got as far as Napoleon, Ark., without biag recognized, and ia that case he begged too mau to say nothing about meeting him Ho went on to Fort Smith, where he joined a Cherokee by the name of Jully, whom he hal been familiar with while agent for the tribe. He assumed the Indian dre33, paintel his face, and could no: be distinguished from them. A law years afterward he passed Nashville with a delegation of Indians on his way to Washington. I recognized him, bat wouldn’t speak to him. The fact is, his triends here considered that he disgraced them, and were disgusted with him. While in Nash ville he wont with his delegation and c ailed on General Jackson at the Hermitage.” “And how did Jackson treat him?” I asked. “I don’t know; but I suppass he treated him ali right as they had been great friends. After reaching Washington I know he whip ped a member ot Congress by the name of Stansberry for saying something disresoeetfnl oi Jackson. After this we heard nothing more of H>as ton until just before the Mexican war, whea we heard that he had gone to San Augintia* to practice law. You know his con^eclioT with the Mexican war probably as well as I do.” “He married again, I believe ?” “Yes. His wile got a divorce, and he mar ried a Mobile lady, and sho made a mn of him. They visited Nashville together, ail £ went with then to see Jackson at the H :r nit age, twelve miles from the city. Hu fir-/ wife married again and is now living near Nashville, unless sho has died recently. ” J London, August ‘27.—Tue Oady Ness an nounces that the strike in Belfast has Jad'-'t and all the operatives, 40,091) an number, resumed in the factories at reduced w ages.
