MUSIC.

A new comic opera has been produced at Trieste,
which, by the concurring accounts of several Italian
journals, has created an extraordinary sensation. It
is entitled, " If Lazzarane orrery', La Fortuna tics
ilannendu :" the libretto by the celebrated dramatist
Itessi, and the music by flour young composers, F.
Berger, A. Itandegger, G. Itotta, and A. Zelman,
enrcs of Luigi lticci. One of them, M. Berger, is
only sixteen. Ile was born in London, is the son of
a merchant in the city, and is now in Italy pursuing
the study of music. From an elaborate critique in a
Trieste journal, we learn that "Il Lazzarone" is an
original and elketive work, remarkable not only for
the graceful melody of the airs, but for the solidity
and vigour of the choruses and concerted pines ; and
that it has been received by the public with the
utmost enthusiasm. In the present state of music in
Italy, the appearance of such a work is au occurrence
worth noting.
The New York papers contain accounts of Miss
Catherine Hayes's third concert. Like the two pre-
ceding, it attracted an audience of more than tour
thousand persons, and our fair vocalist was received
with increased enthusiasm. Mr. Augustus Braham
and Herr Mengis seem to find favour with the Ame-
rican public, and the concerts au a described as being,
on the whole, well got up. Miss Hayes has not yet
commenced her operatic performances, in which, we
apprehend, her strength will chiefly lie, as she will
then pursue a walk different from that in which she
has been preceded by Jenny Lind.
