MUSIC.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.
The Huguenots brought an immense assemblage
to Covent-garden lut night. Every corner of the theatre
was crowded to moms ; and the audience frequently showed
as much excitement as if they had been witnessing the
performance for the filet time. And no wonder ; for the
opera was got up in every respect with as much care, oom-
pleteness, and splendour, as if it bad been an entirely new
production. Mario and Grisi, as Raoul and Valentine,
were as unrivalled as ever ; they acted and sang
as if they were inspired, and repeatedly moved
' the audience to an enthusiasm which found
vent in shouts and acclamations. Assuredly there is nothing
finer on the tragic stags than the great scene which termi-
nates the third act as it is represented by these great per
It is a splendid instance of the powers of music
in heightening the effect of the most terrible situations, and
the expression of plosion in its utmost intensity.
The opera was cast as it generally has been at this
theatre, with two remarkable exceptions. The part of the
Queen of Navarre was sustained by Madame Miobui Cu-
ritiba and that of the Count de St. Bags by IL Faun.
The part of tie Queen, dramatically 'peeking, is a nullity,
but it contains some fins music of a light and brilliant char-
acter, which Madams Carvalho sang charmingly. Faure
threw great energy and power into the part of St. Byis, to

The " glories" of Ascot were certainly ;Oa oh diminished
by the inclement weather. The alternations of rain and
sunshine were frequent, but the pluvial visitation certainly
damped the ardour of the visitors. Although tho attend-
ance was perhaps above an average one, yet the spectatord
seemed to regard the sport with almost indifference. Stilt
the rating was perhaps more abuialant and more interesting
than has been known at Ascot for years. The arrange-
ments for Thursday in eve compartment are complete,
and only fine weather is required to render the present
gathering the most successful ever held on the far-famed
Heath. The sport to-day was of an unusually interesting
description, but speculation on the Stakes told any race to
