numerous audience, and was received, with great
'applauSe.—Signor NALDI, the new Buffo Singer;
made his second appearance. in this Cbuntry, and
fully confirmed the high opinion which his, first
performance had excited. He may fairly be pro-
nounced the best Singer in this Country; - His voice
is deep, strong,: and of extensive compass.
.Tho Ugh
he evidently spews that he ;is capable of all the
jidurishing excesses which charaaerize the present
taste in singing,. ,yet his general style is chaste and
expressive. He is also a very go,od C(Anie Per-
former.--=This Opera has also the additional sup 7

of STORAGE and GRIGLIETTI, an animated and nil-
. affeeled young A.aress.

and -applause.
