ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

LA GAZZA LAURA.

This attractive opera was revived here on Satur-
day evening after a slumber ot some seasons, in
order to afford Madlle. Patti a debut in its rustic
heroine. It is scarcely necessary to say that she
made it another item in her long list of successes.
Two circumstances conduced to this desirable result
--the wonderful naturalness of her acting, which in
Peasant characters especially displays so much
reality, and her training in the Rossini school of
music, whick places her, together with the
sisters Marchesi and Madame Alboni, among
its few remaining interpreters. Her "Di
Planer" was accordingly a very brilliant and suc-
cessful effort, and such also was her delivery of the
eabaletta,
" Tutto Sorridere." She was ably sup-
ported by Madame Nan tier Didiee, in Pippo, a
character which she embodies With a perfection
which could not be surpassed, and whose Brindisi
in the first act, as well as her duet with Ninetta in
the prison, were instances of merit that were very
warmly recognised. Mons. Faure was the Fer-
nando, and again attested his claims as its
best representative since the days of Tam-
barini. Whether in his singing or his
acting, his force and pathos were remarkable. Sig-
nor Neri-Baraldi was the Giannetto, and sang its
music very agreeably; and signor Ronconi was of
course the Podesta, and, with his wonderful hum-
our, almost atoned for his vocal deficiency. The
band chorus and ?rase-en-scene were entitled to all
their usual praises. Ttie house was very full, and
the satisfaction of the audience was marked in the
extreme.

A new site is being looked out for by the autho-
rities on which to erect a barrack for a regiment of the
Household cavalry, the lease of Knightsbridge barracks
having nearly expired. Chelsea or Kensington will probably
be the spot selected.

Good Friday in this year fell on the 3d of April,
the precise date of our Lord's crucifixion. This coincidence
has only taken place once in the present century, and that
was in 1801.

FRANCE.
SUPPLIES TO THE ARMY IN MEXICO.
PARIS, June 8.

An offiei4l announcement has been published to-
day, upon the steps taken to secure the supply of
provisions and munitions to the troops in Mexico.
Upon Apt i 19 the army was furnished with supplies
for 50 days, the renewal of which was easily
effected. Independently of the monthly transports
from St. Nazaire, the Minster of Marine has orga-
nized a ship service leaving Cherbourg or Toulon on
the 23d of every month, carrying out supplies and
bringing back the sick.
M. Havin, the political director of the Siecle, who
alone of all the candidates at the late elections, had,
it may be remembered, the honour of a double re-
turn, publishes a long article crying Io triumphe!
for the Opposition, and explaining what he con-
ceives to be the real signification of the late returns
in Paris. The capital of Franee, he declares, de-
mands loudly that the democratic principles which
are the basis of the Constitution may be at length
exemplified in acts, and that the Empire may be
thrown open to every description of liberty.
