Royal Italian Opera,

Last evening Mozart's "Don Giovanni" was given
for the first time this season as an "extra perform-
ance." The cast (nearly the same as last year) in-
cluded Madlle. Adelina Patti, Madame Frioci,
Madame Rudersdorff, Signori Faure, Ronconi,
Tamberlik—respectively as &Hine, Donna Anna,
Donna Elvira, Don Giovanni, Masetto, and Don
Ottavio; while the Commendatore was represented
by Herr Schmid, and Leporello by Signor Scalese,
a buffo new to this country, who made a successful
debut on Saturday last as Don Bartolo. The house
was crowded to the ceiling ; and never, perhaps, was
Mozart's undying work received with heartier plea-
sure. Thcr© were no less than six encores—" La
ci darem" (Madlle. Adeiina Patti and M
Faure); " Batti, batti " (Madlle. Patti) ; the
trio of " Maequea " (Madlle. Frioci, Madame
Rudersdorff, and Signor Tamberlik) ; " Deb
vieni all finestra" (M. Faure) ; " Vedrai Carina (Ma-
demoiselle Patti; and "It mio tesoro" (Signor
Tamberlik). It was Signor famberlik's first ap-
pearance this season ; and on no occasion has he
more triumphantly shown himself the beau Ideal of
Ottavio. His "IL mio tesoro," created an unac-
customed sensation. Not only was it repeated by
unanimous desire, but after Signor Tamberlik had
sung it a second time he was again summoned before
the lamps to receive an additional tribute of ap-
plause. Signor Scalese, who played Leporello,
justified all that was said in favour of his Bartolo.
Rarely has the famous scene in the cemetery, where
the Statue is invited to supp?,r, been more admirably
acted than by this gentleman.
The incidental minuet was charmingly danced by
Madlle. Salvioni and M, Desplaces, and the three
bands in the ball-room scene were held together by
the skilful hand of M. Costa as though they had
been one.

Madame Puzzi's Morning Concert.
____ ,

The annual concert of Madame Puzzi has always
been prominent among the fashionable entertain-
ments of the season, and, to judge from the appear•
ance of the Hanover-square Rooms yesterday, it
had this year lost none of its attractions. The
rooms were crowded with a gaily-dressed company,
who appeared to be fully satisfied with the per-
formances. The programme was, as usual, long and
varied, although it was unfortunately deprived of
one of its chief attractions by the unexpected ab-
sence of Madame Lemmens-Sherrington from
domestic affliction. Alt must, of course, unite
in deploring the cause, and the loss of the principal
soprano was decidedly a matter of regret. Madame
Parepa was, however, among the
vocalists, and
sang a Neapolitan canzonet with all her usual
expression, besides taking part in several
quartette. Miss Lascelles and Miss Banks, who
sang carefully and creditably, and were especially
successful in the duet " Quis est Nomo," from the
Stabat Mater, though we much question the taste
that introduces music of so sacred a character in
the midst of a fashionable concert. Signor Giuglini
gained an unanimous encore in a charming adapta-

of one of the airs in the " Lily ofoN.Liellearnbe::
de Paradis," but we have heard it given with better
effect. Among the instrumentalists was Signor
Pezze, who gave a solo of his own composition on
the violoncello ; and Mr. Archer, who played two
morceaux on the piano, one of which, " La rondo
des Elfes," was very graceful and sparkling. There
were several other performers, and the concert ex-
tended from two o'clock until a late hour in the
afternoon.

EDMUND ABOUT, the well known litterateur,
was married last week to Mdlle. de Guillerville, a Nor-
mandyheiress, at the Chateau de Itoucheralles, near Rouen.
THE LATE " STONEWALL" JACKSON.—The fol-
lowing letter has been addressed to the Hon. Mr.
Mason in London, in reference to the proposed statue to
the late General "Stonewall" Jackson :—" State of Vir-
ginia Executive Department, Richmond, April 25. To the
Hon. James M. Mason.—l was most agreeably surprised
a few days ago by the receipt of yours of the 17th ult., in-
forming me that a number of distinguished gentlemen of
England had undertaken to have executed a marble statue
of General Thomas J. (Stonewall) Jackson ; and requesting
that you may be authorised to say that 'so far as it may
rest with 'Virginia, the statue shall occupy a position worthy
of it and the occasion.' In reply, it gives me pleasure to
assure you that the most appropriate spot in our beautiful
grounds. shall be selected for the purpose of the proposed
token of a great nation's appreciation of our illustrious son.
This expression of sympathy, while we yet mourn over our
groat loss, touches me deeply, and will, I know, reach the
heart of every true Virginian; and speaking for her and in
her name, I ask you to tender our sincere acknowledgments
to the distinguished gentlemen who have so kindly and
happily conceived this handsome and grateful tribute to the
memory of one of our beat and bravest. aad at the same
