in thetques of ligoleto on Sunday evening last, and on soy

mps for each night of reheat. It wan stated by his advo-
cate that Mario, who for a long tines had been drat tenor at

to sing in the Puritan!. There was another coarederstion—
°resent had at the beginning of the season been designated
for the part of the Duke of Mantua—and Mario would not be
acting like a good oollugne to deprive him of it. Moreover,
the mature of Madame Freszolinrs voice was such that in
order to deg with her he would be obliged to raise hi. voice
half a toss, which he did not leant to do. The tribunal de-
ckled that the terms of the t between Mario and
Csludo could not be inter as to give the actor the
power of refusing to sing his regular parts in old operas, and
that wiesequatly he must appear in the Doke of Mantua on
Beads sad on any other days the directors might require,
under pain of paying 6,000 fr. for each refusal. It con-
demned him likewise to yty all the cats.

A large number of &titian' bills of exchange on

A Berlin correspondence, which reaches Paris air,
callously by way of Hamburg, gives currency to a state-
ment—no mention of which occurs in other letters—to the
affeot that the King of Prussia, who la now travelling in
