Among the musical on dits of the day, it is sta,
a new opera, to be called Ii Castelli di Kelso
a, composed
by Signor Biletta, is about to be produced t P
under the immediate auspices of the Court of that
duchy. Signor Biletta is already known in this country
as a young artiste of much promise, having acquired
highly favourable notoriety by the composition, among
other things, of an operetta called White Magic, which
was given at the Haymarket Theatre during the season
of 1853, with very unequivocal success. Additional
interest, however, attaches to Signor Biletta's public
career, from the fact that he owes his musical education
to the great Rossini, and is, according to report' the
favourite pupil of this unrivalled genius of our time.
The Opera of Parma is one of the principal theatres of
Italy, and will, we are informed, he supported this
winter by an assemblage of leading musical talent.
Barren as the repertoire of our great opera houses has
become of striking novelties, we can only hope that
Signor Biletta's present effort may achieve a success
which shall extend to this country.

favourably.--Kilkenny Journal.

This important and extensive sale of fat stock took place
at the farm at Wentworth Woodhouse, near the York-
shtre seat of the noble earl, on Thursday afternoon. The
bidding was so spirited that in about half an hour the
whole were disposed of. Of the gross number of sheep
(300), the average was 425. 6d. per head. Two much-
admired stall-fed heifers were knocked down, one for
37i. 10s., the other for 351. ss. All the rest fetched
prices varying from 161. to 251. The beasts realised
altogether higher prices than have ever been obtained in
this part of the country.
THE MURDERS BY RUSH.--Since the murdeNrorfok,
of thel
Messrs. Jermy, by Rush, at Wymondham-hall,
the mansion has been untenanted, and, althoughal anY
persons were willing to take it, they cannot procure any
servants who would live in the house, s great is the
superstitious feeling which still exists in persons'
persons' minds
with reference to a place which has been the scene of so
dreadful a tragedy. The parties are willing to let it for
nothing, for two years, to do away with the prejudice.
