TO THE EDITOR OF 7'HE SUN.

SlR,—Will you permit me to draw your attention to
an error which has repeatedly appeared in your impres.
silt), namely, the quotation in the Exchange List of
" Spanish new deferred Bonds," at 7 or at 8 per cent.,
instead of " Venezuela deferred," in which business was
transacted at these rates. There is scarcely a bargain
made of late in London in the " Spanish deferred,"
which, on lst May next, will be totally extinct, by a last
conversion into Active Stock, and, consequently, are of
the same value as the latter Stock at present, less the
overdue coupons attrched to the old Bonds. You wilt
oblige by giving insertion to these few lines, as our
cause is unfortunate enough as it stands, without its
being injured by similar accidental errors.
I am, Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
A S2I',AINB4I9S. I I BONDHOLDER.

ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.
Auber's Fra _Thar()lo was produced here last night,
with a completeness highly creditable to the establish-
ment, considering the modesty of its pretensions. Full
effect was given to all the charming music of the opera,
so strewed with gay and beautiful airs, and tinctured
with picturesque and national colouring. A new tenor
(described as first tenor of the Grand Opera, Paris), a
M. Octave, made his first appearance here in the cha•
racter of the Brigand Chief. He has a tenor voice, not
naturally of good quality, somewhat harsh when strained,
but pleasing enough in level singing. It has, however,
been well trained, and his style of singing is good. He
sang the music of the part efficiently and pleasingly, and
in the " Agnes, la jouvencelle," was encored. As an actor
M. Octave wants the ease and animation so characteristic
of the French stage, but he has a good figure and im-
pressive countenance. Mdlle. Charton imparted a
charming sprightliness to the character of Zerlina. At
each new hearing this artist develops some new gra(a zs
a vocalist, and as an actress she avoids that affectation
of mannerism which some of her countrywomen bQ ieTO
to be necessary attractions for an English audience. Her
singing of the " lliavolo, Diavolo," in the first act, was
an evidence of admirable taste; and in the " Quel bon-
heur I je respire," all the richness and soft mellowness of
her voice came out delightfully. She was also very happy
in the air " Oui, c'est demain," with the accompanying
action. The other characters were well sustained by
Chateaufurt (who gave a good French caricature of the
