CHIT-CHAT OF THE OPERA.

The great musical season has at length truly commenced.
Never did a greater and more brilliant flight of musical
talents alight in London. Amongst these we may mention
the young and interesting Mdlle. de Riviere, the daughter,
we believe, of a late well-known diplomatist, who is likely
to become as great a favourite here as she has been last
winter at Paris—Madame Willtndt Butdogni, daughter
of the eminent Professor Bordogni, who has brought from
Italy a well-earned reputation. On Wednesday arrived
the Queen of the Nightingales, Madame Persiani Talc-
chinardi ; and on Thursday evening she whose voice
never ties, lovely Grisi, reached London with her
cousin, Ernesta Grisi, the new debutante. They were
followed by "II buon Tamburini," and by the Russian
warbler, lvanoff. Later in the evening arrived the unri-
valled Rubini. We only want the giant-genius Lablache,
who was to arrive yesterday, accompanied by Mdlle.
the clever and agreeable contralto. Amidst these welcome
tidings we regret to have to relate the misfortune which
deprived us of Ernesta Grisi's debut on Thursday night, at
her Majesty's Theatre. It would appear that her cousin
Julia, amidst the bustle of her departure, and the agitation
of leasing her husband and her mane Parisian friends, was
robbed of her writing desk, containing money and valuables
to the amount of near 3,0001. M. de Melcy, who carried
the precious casket, had just handed his lady into her car-
riage, and was taking an affectionate leave of her (these
amiable persons being now perfectly reconciled), when the
portiere of her hotel came to tell her that an elderly lady
living in the same house, wished to bid her farewell. Grisi,
with Iter wonted good nature, rushed out of the carriage,
and ran back into the house, and M. de Melcy left the
casket in the hands of the portiere, or deposited it in the
carriage. Grisi soon returned, and drove off. It was not
before she had travelled the distance of two poste from
Paris that she remembered her desk and its valuable con-
tents, which, sought for, could nowhere be found. her
servant was immediately dispatched back to Paris, and
eight hours elapsed before he returned, accompanied by
111. de Ilkley. They brought no consoling tidings. The
servant had, with great difficulty, found out her husband
and father, who had hastened to the hotel, but could obtain
no information as to the fate of the lost box.

The New Opera, by Mr. Jolly, rehearsed on
Thursday at the Surrey Theatie, is, we understand, to be
brought out during the present season at the Lyceum,
"late the English Opera House." By the way, this theft.
tre having, while called by its late name, been chiefly re-
markable for not producing English Operas, perhaps, now
that it has dropped that name, and has become simply what
it was, " The Lyceum," will begin; in the true spirit of
contradiction, to treat the town to a course of national
music I—Musical World.
