Verdi's " I Due Foscari" was performed for the first
time at Lisbon a few weeks ago, with Mme. Sulyer, M.
Belart, and M. Gorin (the Doge), the latter of whom is
♦ery well spoken of. Its reception, according to the
Revolucao do Septembre, was favourable in the extreme.
Letters from Constantinople state that "La Figlia
del Reggimento" had met with but indifferent success at
the Italian Opera in that city—a fact attributed not to
its defective execution, but to the partiality of the Pere-
otes for Verdi. The prima donna was a Mlle. Pecis ;
the tenor, M. Serassi, and our old friend it Sergente

Galli.

PANOPTICON.—There has been some change in the

companied during the representation by Handep chorus,
" But the waters overwhelmed their enemies. ' In the
electrical experiments, Dr. Noad has been substituted
for M. Birt, and the lectures have for the last week been

rapid rate, when about ten yards from the ship, it dipped
and struck the vessel under-water abreast the
fore-rig-
ging, causing her to heel and crack, the whale then
plunged head foremost into the deep. The pumps were
set to work, bet in a couple of hours there were five
feet of water in the well, and the ship was evidently
settling down fast. The bands, six in number, then got
into the long boat, and in less than an hour the vessel
went down. The crew were fortunately picked up by a
fishing-boat belonging to Calais and carried to that port,
where they were assisted by Mr. Bonham, the English
