JUNE 4, 1853.

At the Grand Opera the dant of a tenor, M. Net,
who had some success at Rouen and Toulouse, is
expected with interest.
The Spanish danseme, Catharine Pepita Oliva. has
created a complete fever at Berlin, less, it is pre-
sumable, on account of her talent, which does not
surpass the ordinary level of provincial dancers in
Spain, than for her personal attraction. To give a
notion of the sensation, a leading newspaper begins
thus its article :—" She came in through the Bran-
denburg gate ; the policeman, looking at her with
admiration, forgot to call for her passport; the octrni-
agent did not ask her if she had any fraudulent ob-
ject ;" and so forth.
Lucille Lirahn has returned to Copenhagen, her

native place.
The works for the restoration of the Imperial
Theatre at Vienna were finished before the arrival
of the foreign sovereigns. The theatre opened
with the Dame Blanche, which had not been per-
formed for sixteen years. Baron Dingelstedt was
sent to Paris to study the organisation of the different

theatres.
A new star from the Imperial Opera at Vienna, Miss
Jenny hey, is rising above the horizon in Hamburg.
he was born at tiraetz, and is said already to rival
Jenny Lind.
The fête performances given at I lamburg in honour
of the King of the Belgians and his son were taken
.elusively from the Iphegenia in Taurix, by Gluck,
and Alphea, au anacreontie ballet, put on the stage
by Paul Taglioni, and danced by Marie Taglioni and
Lelma Bloch. The young Duke of Brabant, who
had never before assisted at a ballet, remained the
whole evening with his back turned towards the scene,
and looking into the room, so that he did not see any-
thing going on on the stage.
The Prophite has been performed at St. Peters-
burg, but, the Russian laws not permitting the
theatrical performance of anything belonging to re-
ligious creeds, a new libretto was composed, and the
piece is entitled The Siege of Ghent.
The Art Exhibition at Malines will open on
June .26.
The first stone for the foundation of anew museum
was laid at Hanover on May 27.
Lessing, at Dusseldorf, has just terminated a
masterpiece—" Luther Burning the Papal Bull,"
which incontestably surpa-ses any of his former pro-
ductions. It will go shortly to London, where the
Dusseldorf painters find for the present a rich outlet
for their productions, especially Swiss and Norwegian

landscapes.
Wegelin has been entrusted by the King of Prussia
with a commission to make a tour through Belgium
and Holland to take photographic models of the
ancient and beautiful monuments of both those
countries.
An important discovery was made some time ago
in a little Dutch island, nothing less than " The Last
.Tudgment," by John Van Eyck, with panels showing
the original portraits of Philippe le Bon, Duke of
Burgundy, and his wife, to whom Van Eyck was
Court painter. This important piece is now in Paris,
in the hands of lawyers, awaiting an atnatett-, and
will probably be the object of a proci,s cfMee be-
tween the original discoverer and a lawyer of
Antwerp.
At Rome, the late Hanoverian Charge d'Affaires,
Gestner, discovered the original correspondence of
oethe with the lady who was the type of Werther's
Charlotte. It will be published forthwith.
An adventurer who some time ago was travelling
in Germany under the name of Prince Altieri, "le-
gate of the Pope," selling indulgences, deciding re-
served cases of canonic law, &c., bas been arrested
at Vienna, and delivered over to the Papal authorities,
who had him shut up in the fortress of Leo,rendered
famous by the sojourn and death of another adven•
turer of the last century, Count Cagliostro. The
name of the pseudo Prince Altieri is Barrutti, from
Ceva, in Piedmont.
