Laporte has just concluded, perhaps, the most pro-
fitable, certainly the most brilliant, season he bss ever had.
" I Puritani " wiis succeeded by a more interesting opera, " I
Briganti," by Mercadante, the music of which immediately
found- its
way into the concert rooms and the boudoirs of the
nobility.
By her exquisite delineation of " lie vani orna-
ments," the divine Grisi has, if possible, added to her high
reputation—her singing in " Fin the un vesto," was the most
exquisite thing imaginable, and the composition itself must.
become as universally popular as Malibran's " Night at Sea."
Rubini, Lablazhe, and Tamburini,• to whose good taste the
production ef " I Briganti " is owing, sustained their respec-
tive parts with all their wonted excellence. By.tne professor
and the Amateur, this opera will be equally welcomed—the
Prayer, the Finale to the first act, and Tamburini's song, arc
already the reigning favourites of the fashionable world. We
are pleased to find that the English publishers have employed
the genius and talent of Herz, Bochsa, Burrowcs, and other
able arrangers in the adaptation of Mercadante's score to the
capabilities of the Pianoforte, the Harp, and the Harp and Pia-
noforte together.
DUNDEE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.--A Com-
petition Meeting of this society was held yesterday in the Cale-
donian Hall. The prize articles were flowers, carnations, and
picatces, pinks, roses, calceolarias, violets, and herbaceous
flowers; fruit :—pears, apples, gooseberries, currants, raspber-
ries,and strawberries: and vegetables, cauliflower, and carrots ;
several show lots of seedling calceolarias. Pinks and violets
were also brought forward. Altogether the exhibition was ex-
cellent, considering the previous unfavourable state of the
weather.—Dundee Chronicle.
