THE ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA,

GENERAL GARIBALDI'S VISIT.

Author of "David Elginbrod," (te.

-------
" A dela Cathcart is a delightful book. Written in purest
English, quaint, sparkling, and graceful, anon delight.ng us
with flashes of humour, or winning us with true and subtle
pathos, it may at once take up Is position amongst the
master pieces of modern Eng,lish fiction."—Sunday Times.

The Royal Italian Opera was last evening the
scene of an ovation, which, from the social position
of its habitues and the ordinary nil admirari cha-
racter of their well-bred applause, proved that those
who took part in it sympathise heartily in the feel-
ing which may now be said to pervade every class
of society, from the peer to the peasant. No sooner
was the announcement made that the purest of
modern patriots, and the bravest of freedom's soldiers,
desired to honour the opera of his native tongue
with a hearing, than every seat in the house was at
a premium. This might have been anticipated from
a class to whom the price for admission is hardly a
consideration; but what we would desire to remark
is the unmistakable proof which this selection from
the " upper ten thousand" supplied, of the justness
of the opinion consistently expressed in these
columns, despite the hesitating of many, and the
ill•disguised envy and of ethers, that Gari-
baldi, come when he might, would receive from
every Englishman, of every rank, that cordial
welcome which a generous people is proud to give
to those who deserve well of their country and of
mankind.

About twenty minutes past eight loud cheering
in the piazza of Covent garden announced to the
well-dressed crowd within the Floral Hall that
Garibaldi had arrived, and shortly afterwards the
hero, accompanied by the Duke and Duchess of
Sutherland, the Earl of Carlisle, Lady Blantrye,
the Countess Dowager of Sutherland, Lords Albert
and Ronald Leveson Gower, Mr. Negretti, and ether
friends, made their appearance and were received
by Mr. Gye and several officials of the opera. Such
was the eagerness for a near approach that the
General was surrounded and separated from his
escort completely, when two active superintendents
came to the rescue, and cleared a passage for him
across the Floral Hall, and up the staircase leading
to the grand tier, where three boxes had been thrown
into onb, exactly opposite the royal box. Never was
crowned head received with such outspoken and
hearty cheers, rivalling in vigour those of the most
popular assemblies, and repeated again and again.
The General, who looks somewhat sick with kind-
ness, bowed repeatedly. The commotion and emo-
tion calmed, Costa tapped his desk, and the band
burst forth with the preluding notes of " Norma."
The choice of this opera and two acts of " Masa.-
niello," with the elevation of the Fisherman•Kiag,
ending with the insurrection, the fusillade, and
defeat of the royal troops, was certainly highly sug-
gestive. The music, the gorgeous mice en scene,
the picturesque groups of Neapolitans, and the splen-
did pictures of the Bay of Naples, the market-
place, and other localities, appeared to delight the
gallant visitor and chain his attention. We
have been told much of the General's inflexible
rule of " early to bed," when not campaigning.
Last night, or rather this morning, gave us the
"exception," which logicians tell us " proves the
rule." It was asserted that at the close of "Norma,"
half past 10 o'clock, the General would leave. He
merely retired for refreshment, returned, and sat
out the whole performance, bowing in reply to re-
newed cheers after the fall of the drop-scene, and
applauding warmly at the close. At half-past 12
the General left with his friends.

The Guards' band was in waiting in the Floral
Hall, and played the Garibaldian Hymn at his de-
parture, which was made by the Piazza entrance,
by which he had entered ; and here again loud and
ringing huzzahs were heard for the man whom the
people delight to honour.
The Norma of Madame Lagrua eaMbited the
magnificence, the energy, the intellectuality, and
the power which we have already attributed to this
grunt oirgur and iragDeliCPDPie. mane. Marin R attti
was a charming Adalgisa, and Signor Naudin an
excellent representative of Pollio, proverbially ill-
received by the audience. The novelty was a new
Chaves° in the person of Herr Schmid, of whom we
may briefly say that he is an actor, a musician, and
a singer gifted with great power of delivery, ex-
pression, and depth. His DMUS° so much impressed
US that we are anxious to hear him in another role.

The splendid overture to Masaniello was splen-
didly performed, so splendidly that it was warmly
applauded, and no one seemed to regret the time
by which it lengthened unusually "long Thurs•
day:"

Among the company were : —The Duke of Wellington,
the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, the Duchess of St.
Albans and Lady Diana Beauclerk and Viscount Falkland,
the Duchess Dowager of Sutherland and his Excellency the
Earl of Carlisle and Lords Albert and Ronald Leveson
Gower, the Marchioness of Downshire and Lady Alice
Hill, the Earl and Countess of Tankorville, the Earl of
Dudley, the Earl of Uxbridge, the Earl Granville, the Earl
of Durham, the Earl and Countess of Wilton, the Countess

DEPARTURE OF GENERAL GARIBALDI
FOR BEDFORD.—(This DAY.)

General Garibaldi, accompanied by his sons, the
members of his suite, and the Duke of Sutherland,
left Stafford House this morning at 10 o'c!ock for
Bedford, via the Great Northern Railway. On
arriving at that place, the General will proceed to
Mr. Howard's agricultural works, where a display
of the capabilities of the machines manufactured by
the firm will be given. The route traversed by the
Duke's carriages was lined with people, and, in
some instances, hasty attempts at decoration had
been made.

The cheering along the road was loud and hearty,
but at the entrance to the railway station it became
tumultuous. A limited number of persons Only was
admitted to the departure platform, so that he
was enabled to depart on this occasion without going
through the fatigue of shaking hands with every
person who could get within arm's reach of him.
He returns to town late in the afternoon.

To-morrow (Saturday) General Garibaldi will
receive in the centre transept of the Crystal Palace,
from the Italian Reception Committee, an address
and presentation sword. A similar sword will also
be presented to the General's son, 11Ienotti Gari-
baldi. The presentation will take place in a box
or gallery erected for the occasion at the north-east
corner of the great transept, immediately facing
the Handel oteaestra, and in full view.of the visi-
tors. Prior to the presentations a great Italian
concert will be offered to the General by the prin-
cipal artistes of the Italian Operas. The General
will leave town privately, and arrive at the Palace
on Saturday about two o'clock. He will leave
about five o'clock.
On his return to town Garibaldi will go to a
grand dinner and evening party at Lord Palmer-
ston's, Cambridge House. Oa Monday the whole
of the members of the House of Commons aro in-
vited from two to six o'clock, to meet the General
at Princes-gate. It is, therefore,
at Mr. Seely's,
probable that the proceedings at S'idenham on that
day will be over at an early hour. He will dine in
the evening with the Marquis of Chknricade, and
