...present season of Italian Opera at this theatre, though very short and not remarkably brilliant, has been one of the most successful we have ever had, both as regards the high character of the performances and the size of the audiences. Mine. Nilsson, Miss Cary, and Capoul have appeared in their familiar characters in "Faust," "Trovatore," "Martha," and other well-worn operas; and there have been three debuts of interest, - those of Mlle.

...THOUGH our complaints are not always listened to, yet the reform of an abuse, now and then, encourages us to hope for consideration in future. Our present grievance is the gas in Holworthy, which seems so far to partake of the universal feeling in regard to the next two weeks, that instead of making light of it, it is subject to sudden fits of depression, varying in length from five minutes to an hour.
