Verdi's opera, I Lombardi, ally prima Crociata, was pro duced here last evening, and the fiat of the audience of the first Lyrical Theatre in the world, coincides with that of every other audience to whose judgment this opera has been submitted, and stamps it as the great work of a great man. We have already given the plot of this opera, and certainly Verdi has been fortunate in his choice of a librettist, who has not only imagined a most dramatic plot, bat has deve loped that plot in a most dramatic manner; and well has Verdi known how to avail himself of the advantages thus afforded him. It has been hitherto one of the distinguishing characteristics of Verdi, that he has, without turning to the right hand or to the left, without studying the particular powers of particular singers, written his operas fairly out according to the situations, translating into music the passion or the sentiment which he had to illustrate, and, treating his vocal parts as lie does his instrumental, written them not far the particular soprano, or tenor, or basso, who may chance to be popular, but written for soprano, tenor, or basso, without reference to individuals. Thus Vedi's operas will not die with the present race ofsingers—they- will always retain possess at of the stage • and their success h a y i n every i ns t ance b een achieved rather by their own intrinsic merits than by Vie particular exertions of any particular artiste concerned in their production. The scene of the first act of I Lombardi is laid in Milan—the time in which the action takes place is the eleventh century, the time of the first crusade. After a few introductory bars of music from the orchestra (there is no regular overture), the curtain rises a n d di scove rs th e court-yard of the church of St. Ambrose. Cheerful music is heard within the church, and then the citizens enter; and, in a twoopart chorus of men and women, we are informed that Pagano, who had attempted to stab his brother Arvino because Viclinda had preferred Arrino's suit to his, has re turned, and that he is that day to ieceive his pardon. This chorus is carefully written, and elaborately instrumented, and proves Verdi to be a most accomplished contrapuntist. Pagano (Fornasari), Arviao (Corelli), Viclinda (Madlle. Corbari), Griselda (Madame Grisi), the daughter of Arvino, and Viclianda and Pirro (Botelli), the friend of Pagano, then enter:, accompanied by the ecclesiastics of St. Ambrosia in grand procession frost the church. The next scene is in the genet yof the palace of Tollo, the father of Arvino and Pagano. It is night, Viclinda and Griselda fear souse impending calamity; and here we have a beautiful pregltiet a, " Salve Maria," delightfully given by Grisi. Pirro and Pa gano enter. Pagano is still determined to wreak his ven geance on Arvino. While Pirro watches, he enters Arvinc's chamber, and immediately returns with his sword bloody.. An alarm is given ; among those who enter is Ar vino. Who is it, then, that Pagano has slain ? It is his own father; in horror he attempts to slay himself; his sword is wrenched from him •, and, like Cain, he is ca t forth to lead a life of misery. The scene of 'The - second a t is at Antioch. Acciano, the sultan, is seated on his throne. He has tak en captives from the rusaders, among theta Griselda, the daughter ofArvino. She has captivated the heart of his son, Oronte (Mario), who in a most delicious melody " La mia letizia infardere," expresses his feeling of affection for her. This melody was given with so much taste, pa thos, and feeling, and with such powers of execution by Mario, that it created quite a furore. Not only was Le called on to repeat it, but, after having sang it a second time, he was again called for, and had to bow his thanks to the audience. It was the greatest tri umph Mario has yet achieved. The scene then changes to a mountan—a hermit enters from his cave-- this hermit is Pagano. Pirro, who has become a renegade, and is in the service of the Sultan of Antioch, seeks the holy man to ask forgiveness of his sins. The crusaders approach, and the hermit assumes his armour to join ti e soldiers of the cross, extorting from Pirro a promi e that he will betray the city into their hands. The scene then changes to the interior of the harem of the sultan, and we have a very effective chorus of women, who deride the grief of Griselda. Indignantly does she reply to them, when they are interrupted by a melee of women, soldiers, and crusaders, who rush into the harem, the city having been taken. Among the crusaders is Arvino; and Griselda, in a most magnificent and mo-t originally written scena, expresses the contending passions by which her heart is torn joy at being rescued from captivity by her father, is mingled with sorrow at being parted from Oronte, her lover, and with indigna tion at the cruelties which the crusaders have perpetrated. This scene was magnificently given by Grisi, and is one of the most original and effective ever composed. The opening scene of the third act is splendid. t represents the Valley of Jehosaphat, with alit city of Jerusalem in the distance, and is perhaps the mot beautiful scene that the pencil of Mr. Marshall has ever yet produced. We have a fine massive chorus of knight-, women, and pilgrims, who are wending- their way towards the Holy City. After their departure Griselda enters; in her father's tent she cannot breath—she seeks the free air—sl•e has but one thought—love. She is joined by Oronte—an,t out of this situation, the most common-place of all the common-places of the lyrical drama, Verdi has elicited some of the most original effects ever composed. The duet be tween Oronte and Griselda isa perfect gem ; and, unlike otter r composers, he does not suffer the beauty of the music to tempt him to sin against dramatic oraisemblance. The lovers are interrupted by a cry of to arms. This introduces the tretta of the duet, which, contrary to custom, is not repeat&. The situation required that the lovers should without delay fly ; and, sacrificing himself to his art, he will not permit them :o remain, to i epeat even the most beautiful part of his du: t, although he would have been fully justified in so doing,by the example of all his predecessors. This proves thet Verdi is an artist in the highest sense of the term. We then have a short scene in the tent of Arvino, fee:n whence the crusaders march forth to battle ; and then we have the last scene of the act—a caw. This scene is intro duced by a beautiful violin solo, which was exquisitely per formed. At intervals th e clash of arms is heard without ; then Oronte enters mortally wounded supported by Griselda; they are followed by the Hermit. Oronte, in his last moments expresses a wi h to die a Christian. He is baptised by the hermit, and dies in the arms of Griselda and Pagano. The terzetto between Oronte, Griselda, and Pagano, with which the act concludes, was beautifully given, and the acting of Fornasari and Grisi in this trying scene was sub lime. The subdued and dignified grief of the hermit con trasted finely with the impassioned Griselda. Never was agony more heart-rending than that of Grist, and never has Grisi been greater than she was in this scene. In the fourth act we find Griselda sleeping in tl e cavern. She has a vision of celestial spirits, among them Oronte, who assures her he is happy. She awakes, and now comes the grand scene of the opera, the air et' Griselda, the "Non fa sogno,"—which is in Italy whht The soldier tired" was for years in England, the tri song for every prima donna. It was given by Grisi mo effectively, and is one of the most marvellous vocal triumphs which even Grisi has ever acchieved. - The next scene is the Lombard encampme:t, near the Sepulchre of Rachael ; and here we have the most sublime, massive, elaborate chorus in the opera, "0! Signore dal tette natio." The audience seemed awed into silence by the sublimity of the music, which is almost of a sacred character, and at the eonclusi( n of the chorus there was one loud and unanimous call for its repetition, which was of course complied with. Every praise is due to the chorus singers, and to the orchestra for the perfect manner in which this sublime composition was given. The Lombards, led on by the hermit, rush on to battle. The scene then changes to the hut of Arvino ; the hermit is lei in mortally wounded. Finding death approaching he discovers himself—he is Pagano, and with that discovery ends the opera. The acting of Fornasari in this scene was very fine, and although an spola getical placard, bespeaking the consideration of the audience for Fornasari, on the score of illness, was posted about the lobbies of the theatre, yet there certainly was no necessity to make any apology, for Fornasari last night fully maintained his well-earned fame, as one of the greatest actors on the lyrical stage. At the conclusion there was a general call C r the principal artists, and Grisi, Mario, Fornasari, and Corellf appeared before the curtain and were received with that enthusiastic applause which they had so well earned by their exertions. The house was crowded to suffocation. The ballet of Alma concluded the evening's entertainment.

THE BOOK OF COSTUME.—Among the various an nouncements of new works, we notice one which cannot fail to have more than ordinary attraction for readers of both • sexes. We allude to the elegant volume, just published, under the title of " The Book of Costume ; or, Annals of Fashion," the production of a lady o f ran k, pro f use l y illus trated by the most eminent artists. We have reason to believe that this entertaining volume is the first general History of Costume, in all nations, ever published, and from the beauty of the numerous enrravingq, and the great care taken with the text, which has had the advantage of being revised by the first authority of the day in suchl become matte a rs, there can be little doubt that the volume w standard book of reference on all questions connected with fashion in dress.

WILD SWANS NEAR SHREWSBURY.—Ten wild swa. s visited a piece of water near the house of J. Morris, Esq , of Oxon, near this town, settled th ere three weeks, and thence' fled to Bomc re Pool, the property of E. 0. S. Owen, Esq., of Condover ; they re turned to Oxon, and then betook themselves to the water at Onsiew, the residence of Colonel Wingfield, near this town. Two weeks ago some thousands of brent geese passed Brighton, about a mile at E oft. There was a continuous stream of them for at least two hours, and their course was from east to west. And about the same time, Oalignani's Paris newspaper announced that "four wild swans were seen flying over the large piece of water in the Tuileries at the end towards the Place do la Concorde, and at length drop down upon it with a sudden dash, which at first frightened the two tame swans which have hitherto had the exclusive occupation of the ba-in. These, however, soon recovered their confidence, and seemed to v el come their unexpected guests with true French courtesy, The vi sitars were somewhat less In size than their hosts, but their plumage was mulch more brilliantly white. They did not appear to be at all disturbed by the presence of several persons who stood on the blink of the water, but enjoyed themselves until the hour when the foun tain at the centre was made to play as usual, the noise of which surprised and alarmed alarmed them so that they again took night." 051irctubury Chtvnicle.
